And I got the cat-back exhaust installed in the Miata Wednesday. It sounds pretty good.

hmm my exhaust has been sounding tinny latly..figured since its so old i would replace the whole thing..unfortunatly it entirly welded together...now ive seen/heard that you can use a hacksaw at the end of the downpipe...downpipe side of weld id say..any way im just not sure if buying these parts they would turn out long enough for me to put some paste on, clamp together and be long enough with the downpipe having been cut

i.e. after cutting; new parts are to short to reach either downpipe or end of car

Interesting, I expect to see something about it on next year's Top Gear.

Final results of buffing, polishing, waxing and overall general detailing of an '85 Corvette for a couple.

The plastic bumpers were just too far gone to bring back to life completely. Lots of crazing in them, but overall, the car turned out great. Doesn't look 27 years old anymore in my opinion.

Not saying I'd never own that model of Corvette, but if I had my choice I'd either go new, or really classic.

That being said, the car looks close to brand new. So you did quite the job there.

chrome is the only way to go for bumpers....never the less looking good...

Pics of the car outside, looks even better in person.

The last pic really shows some of the paint chips in the front of the hood. That's just what showed up on the camera, but like I said, it still looks even better in person. Car will be picked up Saturday. Otherwise, I'm going to have to start charging storage fees.

Oh well if you need it gone...I can take care of that for you.
