I 100% understand this. I have a chassis that was full of water and mold. I't trying my best to piece the interior back together. It makes the most sense to just gut it and paint it with a cage but I like to be able to drive everything i have on the street and in comfort. |

Started fabricating my downpipe last night while we wait for the 3/4" tubing we need for the front end.
Overall i was OK with my work. I was happy with my fitment. Almost perfect clearence however my welds were JUNK. I'm fully certified and this is wretched. By the end of the weld on the flange, i started to get my heat right. However, I didn't have the correct tools to prep my tungsten electrode. So my arc was everywhere. here's how it turned out. My first weld in 16 months. Ill get pics today of it installed. |

thanks but its hardly good in my eyes haha.. ill get it back, i just need some more time . theres plenty to weld on this car though this weekend. sucks that we changed the design. we were going to run 1" tubing for the front but to save weight we pulled it down 3/4" so hopefully it pays off.

Keep them, just get another set of official wheels.
Knock offs are like missile cars. One good car, and one bang around car. And stop faking like those welds aren't good, fishing for compliments and junk. |

Steering rack clearence Manifold clearence This downtube will be like this until startup unless I get my 3 inch vband in time. the V band will get welded to the end off this pipe. its a tight fit and I will not be able to add another 90 without making it impossible to remove. For the April 1st event i will run a 90 off that and a turn down to toward the ground. Logistically cant do a full exhaust yet. 4 in. oval will complete the rest of the exhaust. The flaws in my welds are appearent OBEEWON. Along with my tungsten issue, my filler rod 3/32" 308L is too wide for this thin piping. It worked weld with the flange but there was a lot more meat to lay heat into. I'm a modest person and I'm very critical of my work. I went to school for 2 years to weld and my instructor was comparable to my drill sergeant in basic. Also, Cage Dave has started on my front end. These are the strut tower braces. More to come tomorrow.. |

Andrews is in Maryland buddy. Dave does awesome tubs too. he pulled another all nighter last night on my front end. he changed his design 3 times because he's not happy until its perfect. . this front will be truly unique. and dimples dies everywhere... hopefully done by Monday..
