    3 More for tonight. I made up the lower pipe from the blower to the cooler. The Tial BOV should be here tomorrow and I can place it on this pipe, weld the flange on and get it to powder coat for the weekend. I used 1 coupler for ease of assembely if and when I ever have to take anything off. I could easily make it one solid pipe but it would just be too involved if I had to pull the blower for any reason. Need to final weld which wont take more than 15-20 minutes.

    They are not the usual "roll of dimes" he usually does because for some unknown reason he decided to put in on his buffer to put a little lusture on. Not quite sure. I was contemplating smoothing them and doing a polish. Just leave the rib at the edge for the clamp as was intended.

    WTF, is he getting lazy on the free jobs? Looks like I welded it!

    This will all be cleaned up with the new radiator and the contour fans that are going in.


    Nice straight shot...

    HAHA NAh, its the bag the filter came in. Brand new and I didnt want to contaminate it with metal grindings from the fab work here. I vacuumed the engine bay out last night and took the bag off.

    Hell no!!! Needs tuned first. I doubt it will run with the 60's and the blow through. The tune thats in it is for the sucker and 44's. I will consider myself lucky if it runs. I will most likely have to trailor it to get tuned. Then I will be looking for the 550 number. I hope at least. HAHAHAHA

    I have to get an appointment for tuning. If all goes well, you will see it atleast one more time. If not, I will bring it out for spring. I dont think its going to run as well as everybody thinks. I have 10 second power and 12 second driver abilities. HAHAHA This winter will result in some welding of the rear body mounts and peplacing the arms and such. Probably a complete wire tuck as well. I have to pull the dash for the heater core anyways so no better time than then to do it. That will also result in a mostly smooth engine bay. All to have a car accumilate less than 1000 miles a year. HAHAHAH

    Let me know, I will stand by for the driver mod. Put it on the limiter and side step the clutch. I'm willing to sacrifice your car to get that 10 ;)

    BTW - loose those work drive clamps ;)
