very nice... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif I was down in that area the other day... maybe I'll see about skipping out of work early Friday and heading down to Glen Burnie... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



on a side note Brian... I went to Last Chance Saloon the other day and it was GONE! building was for lease and the place was a ghost town... wtf? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png

Don't go to Glen Burnie. The car is at my house in Westminster.



Wow, Last Chance GONE?! A sad day indeed... Lots of alchool induced memories from that place https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png

Right now everything is MIG'd, but I hope to get a TIG sometime this year so I can do better aluminum work. All the stuff in the pics is just tacked for fitting, it will be fully welded after all of it is done.



I have a decent miter chop saw and the good old Saws-All. I have a plasma cutter in the grage that is borrrowed that I can use anytime, but I may be getting a larger unit of my own soon.

The only thing I see is the piping seems like its kinda thin. I could be wrong. I know that turbo is gonna throw alot of heat into the exhaust and I'd hate to see you do it 2 times.



If the car is at your house I'll definately stop by. Its alot easier to swing past there then it is to get to the peoples republic of Glen Burnie.

It is 16ga as opposed to the std 18ga, so it is a bit heavier. It will also be Jet-Hot 2000 coated. I have a section on the Midget made of 18ga (uncoated!) and it is holding up to the rotory heat which will be about the same as the boosted LS-1's EGT's.



I'll PM you and Drew my #. Call before you come over to make sure I'm there and not out on a part run. I should be there all day Friday and off and on Sat.

well... made it out of work early, but... the chick is NOT going out with the girls tonight... darned woman... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png she wants to spend some "quality time", unfortuantely she doesn't want to spend it BS'ing about cars and exhaust systems over a few frosty beverages https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



I'm still in shock about Last Chance disappearing... I had been there like a month before and WHAM! gone... *shrug* oh well... time to find a new bar I guess
