Millie's new 2 1/2 Pypes system video - 1968 Cutlass S with 350

Here is a quick video of me putting on a new Pypes 2 1/2" true dual exhaust system on.

I hope I did everything up to snuff .

Adam!
That was absolutely hysterical. No boot a doubt it - you qualify as Nova Scotia's most inventive mechanic. Ah hah hahhhahaha Chain saw........ battery welding.... yer killin me!! Best part is it sounds great. You could be the next Red Green of the East coast...

I do hope you had something keeping the car from rolling off those ramps tho.

How'd you video the driveshaft like that? That was one freaky view.

Why is everyone laughing? No joking intended.

To film the underside of the a actually placed my pocket sized camera with the lens up under the rearend of the car and slowy drove backwards over it. I would love to try again with the camera on the side of the car to show the actual Pypes but I am scared I might run over it.

It was a fun little time wasting project to cut the scenes and sounds together.

I am glad you all like it and got that it was a gag video.

Adam, just a thought.
You should update your sig line with Millie's before/after shot now that she has her front end and trim back on.

I just went back and looked through your build. Incredibly fantastic job you've done. Really liked the detailed pics you had of the headliner and install. I've been dreading that. I see you put some sound deadener in the roof. Did she come with some or was that just an upgrade to go with the dyno mat?

You are right. The newest shot in my sig is almost two years old . I put a lot of parts back since then.

When I pulled th old headliner out the was a thin felt like pad/insulation. It was peeling and falling apart. Most repro products are the cottony stuff I glued to the Fat Mat (aka Dyno Mat at half the price). She originally had a vinyl roof so I don't know if that makes a difference or not.

I was doing floors and firewall. WAW set in and I did the roof. When I fianally get to doing my door and rear panels and the rest of the upolstery I have some for the door's and rear seat sides. i may even do the trunk area. I could still paint the Fat Mat and it would look good under the trunk mat and spare.

Millie does like driving around with new exhaust. My 5 year old son gets dropped off and picked up from preschool in her everyday that it is above 10C and not raining. That seems to have been everyday, less one or two, for the last three weeks.

I need to get a video with good audio. My camera is not very good with sounds.
