So I realized that I hadn't posted any progress updates on the 86 SSP that I picked up a while back. The first thing I did was replace the exhaust from the headers back. It read 119 decibels on the decibel meter with the as-delivered dumped Flowmasters! (Relatively speaking that's right between chainsaw/leaf-blower and an ambulance siren or thunderclap.) I thought the neighbors might form a revolt if I kept it that way for long, so I threw in a new catted 2.5" BBK h-pipe I had laying around and Magnaflow Stainless Steel mufflers with some 2.5" tailpipes. That dropped it to below 100db.

Mid-Century Modern Steel and Wood Sling Chairs
So now that we're all stuck at home for a little bit, I'd wanted to start taking advantage of my front porch a lot more so that I could sit and read, sip cool beverages and wave from an acceptable social distance to my neighbors that are now spending a lot more time walking or being out in their yards. I wanted a pair of cool chairs, but with most stores being shut down and the financial outlook being uncertain for a while, I didn't want to buy something expensive online, so I started scouring the interwebs for things that I could make myself and not break the bank.
