Update 4/11/2012
Spent a few hours today finishing up all the pie cuts and tack welding the manifold. Had to go in and out of the car a few times to get this thing to fit perfectly. I ended up having to redo the #1 runner because it was angled in such a way that I couldn't install the manifold into the car. Got it all sorted out now. I was starting to weld up the runners, but I ran out of my second tank of argon lol. I had to stop because the backpurging gas ran out. New bottle tomorrow and I'll finish welding this bad boy up!

Finally finished cutting and tack welding the whole thing.


View from the side.


The money shot!

Updates 4/10/2012

Too busy lately. I finished the manifold about a week and a half ago. I forgot to update the post.

Welding time! Notice my custom argon backpurging line

Jeff, do you think it would be possible if you could snap a few pictures of the car in its current state?
