You can do it buy yourself, the toughets part is getting the downpipe to line up. Once you get it in place a couple of bungees on the bottom may halp you to hold it while your on top.
Not the final nail but really added a few more to it. I just hope that the judge can see clearly what has to be done here.

Jay, I did mine in black, I believe Ron did too. Here's the paint I used, got it at Menards.
Rust-Oleum High Heat Spray Paint, BBQ Black # S7778-838 by Rust-Oleum
You'll want some brake cleaner or something similar to take the oily film off the pipes before you paint it too.

So we had a somewhat intersting morning here. Troy got out to the truck this morning and saw a puddle under it, the tank we have in the bed has a hole in it and is leaking fuel. Not a big deal right, just put that fuel in the main tank...... not when the fuel in the tank was RED! We had no idea there was red fuel in it, I can't believe the dealer sold it to us with that in it. I am very thankful that when we had our tank dipped last year on the highway the chick was to short to see we had a tank in our bed also...... Troy did some calling around and we found a place that wanted the fuel, we had over 20 gallons in it and didn't know it. The owner of the place we gave the fuel to is actually the same guy who used to own our truck, so we just basically gave him his fuel back. lol.

Like anyone but me will ever see it. I have plenty of degreaser as I used to do body work on the side so no worries there. Thanks for the input Mike.

Oopps, I guess I forgot to resize the pics. This little Kodak camera I have takes amazing pics, its a 12mp. I should have used the Sony, its only a 4.1mp, but the kodak was in the truck.

I was probably going black but thought maybe something flashy might be fun

That could have sucked big time. How long has the fuel been in there Cris? How long is diesel good for anyway?

We knew he worked there from when I had to track him down back at the end of 07, just didn't know he owned the place.
