This is for my mate Podunk.
Terry, you CNC'd runners for my inlet manifold based off of life size pencil drawings I made from the ports.
My Aluminium guy Duncan who BTW built all those Toyota Dakar trucks that won welded the runners to the plates
and he said every single one matched. SOME MACHINING SKILLS.
Thanks brother and God Bless. A pic I was sent via Whatsapp but I now have both here and I'll shoot better pics and post tomorrow.

Your work is awesome and I'm proud to have them. Not many guys on the planet can machine a tube that transitions from rectangular to round
like you did.

I can't thank you enough and this manifold when finished will blow us all away.

Dummied up and ready for welding after I clamp all the bits in the jig.
We'll mill the extended pieces after. Thank you Podunk. You're the MAN.
The parts are perfect.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hey guys I know I've been AWOL for a long time and you probably all thought I bailed on my project. Far from it. I've been working myself to a standstill to fund the long car.

I believe in Divine Intervention 100% and through all the trials and tribulations I learned one thing. PATIENCE!!!!!!.
I happened onto a gear cutting company here in Johannesburg that knows their industry and can cut 2:1 Hypoid Offset gear ratios.
No lying like the thief in Cape Town that stole my 3rd member and money.
These guys are the real deal and explained the difference on LSR materials vs other forms of motorsports.
The blanks will need to be forged from a special material and the processes involved are hi tech.
The ratios in South African currency are expensive due to my one off request but if I can get orders in fair quantities the cost will come down substantially.

I currently have a 10 bolt GM 2.44:1 diff but if any of you are interested in a 12 bolt ratio set or Ford 9" I'll need to know how many members are interested and also need a 12 bolt set shipped to me even if it's damaged. The more buyers the cheaper the sets. If you guys are interested please let me know so I can give the manufacturer an idea on numbers so he can quote. Just bear in mind that our currency is R16/$1USD so the gear sets will be more than affordable.

Thanks for your time and I hope this can help us all. God Bless. Mikey.

Mike, good to see you are alive and well...
Do you want guys to PM, email or post on your thread if they are interested?
You might want to think about putting a thread in the LSR general chat section

A little premature but a great gift from my Mopar loving buddy in the US.
He shipped me 10 tags. Semper Fi Marine. Thanks Michael Orff.

Jerry, you win!  I've seen lots of car brands made into silly (or not so silly) phrases, but never that one.  I thank you for the laugh.
