If that is the stuff the the OE's use, it's pretty good.I hated that stuff when I worked at the junk yard. It sticks good. Aggravating to remove. It should hold up pretty well.
yeah its the OE ...i hope to never have to remove it ! lol
got a serious amount done tonight, made the whole exhaust and tack welded it with flanges so it should be bolted up in the next week or so i hope...
the setup is 1 -7/8 LT TSP F body headers to mandrel bend 3" pipe to a pypes 3" x pipe to (2) black widow widowmaker mufflers to (2) 3" turndowns

That's exhaust looks great man! I can't wait to see it finished and on the car. I hope you'll make a video so we can hear what it sounds like.
Thank U yes definitely will
My buddy made it for me I'm ot really good with welding / cutting / fabricating
But we are better with mechanical stuff lol
Like the interior is still stressing me out
so I am not sure what exactly is draining my battery... after about a week its stone dead... the old alternator i think was back feeding and draining the battery but it would be dead after like a day...
new alternator, charged the battery up real nice (since the car isnt really being driven yet...) after about a week the battery was stone dead...
what could be causing this draw ?
-all the fuses and circuit breakers are in (but this was happening before the door lock circuit breaker was in)
-the headlight switch is disconnected
-there is no gauge cluster plugged in
-there is no stereo wired up
-there is no light bulbs in the interior lights , there are the corroded pieces where the lights would go
-there were rusted/corroded door pins ( and some weird wiring extension off the white wire on the driver side) which i fixed (haven't charged battery since this fix) no hood light, no trunk light, no third brake light
-MSD ignition box is wired to battery 12+ per the instructions
-everything else is wired to relays off of a 12v igniton

how old is the battery?
just a guess here but if the old alt was screwed up maybe it screwed up the battery
