Almost had a heart attack today!

Finally got some free time off work, so I decided i better get my ROC on the road... It was the first time i had the car running for more than 10 minutes after the rebuild... It ran great and than once it got hot it start blowing out pure white smoke... It looked like i was doing a burnout or something... It was crazy, smoke everywhere... It scar't the **** outta me, thought i did something wrong during the rebuild... I narrowed it all down and found out that antifreeze was caked all inside my exhaust from when I blew the 383... So when the exhaust got hot, it heated the caked antifreeze and blew it out the tails.. I ran it for about half hour and finally it was perfect... My insurance was closed today and will be open on tuesday, when she will finally be on the road....

Yeah... when I got my exhaust done, the guy had to cut some of the pipe off the catalytic, he used a bandsaw with a cutting fluid. So my car was smoking for a good 20mins after I got the exhaust done.
