GA New exhaust Friday new paint Saturday

After a year of blue start up smoke and carbon monoxide wafting up from the stock exhaust under the Rx, Finally, took it in , The Muffler guy was shocked how big and heavy the muffler was. maybe 40 or 50 pounds. Also cleaned up other things under there. WoW. What a cool new sound and the engine starts up so fast with out all the back pressure. I'm sure its faster but by what and how much ..who knows.

On Saturday, Our Kitchen Oven element broke so I was at the salvage hardware store for a new one.
Saw a gallon of Black gloss Acrylic interior exterior paint on rack for 10 bucks plus some thinner and sand paper for another $7. Got a 12 pack of natural light (My Paint Skills go downhill when I paint and drink stronger beer) and went over to my buddies house to do some spraying. 4:00 Sand it, 5:00 newspaper the glass, 6:00 figure out how much thinner to use and how the $19 Harbor Freight sprayer worked, Sprayed around, drank beer till 7:30, Parked it in the barn at 8:00. I'm dying to see it today. SC
