cool cant wait to see more my man.
tip on exhaust. If passable go to autozone or something like that and get VHT ceramic exhaust paint. you have to spray and bake in stages. so it will stick we.. My suggestion is to get s a stove free from craigslist for this cause everything will taste like ass after words.
For the heat wrap. get it wet first. sure its a mess to work w/ but when you wrap anything its always tight and ooo so smooth like a babies wittle bottom.

As I see from teh pick. You all ready know about the metal zip ties. Which are also goood to wrap around those ppls necks that really piss you off.
