It looks good -- and it looks to me like you're having some fun too!
Loved the 3 year old on Dew analogy!
I will add this while I'm at it (since Stella is on Seattle time - but we're in SV so I'm up a little early). Once you've done this kind of work -- once ANYONE has done this kind of work themselves.... they'll never again question the billable hours from a good professional shop. They'll finally understand what it takes to do. The investment in equipment - overhead - skill - and if you want it to look professionally done - TIME.

The shop that originally installed the exhaust on the car in '91 is still in business and still does exceptional work but.........I had them bid it, but can't afford them right now. Their price looked fairer every time I crawled under the car and laid there scratching my head........after 30 or so trips their price looked pretty cheap......not to mention I tweaked a knee in the process.
Regarding tools my little Jet bandsaw paid for itself yesterday and a Burr-King would be a nice addition to the shop for final fitment.............almost as nice as a hoist.
