How can there ever be too much information on a build???   shocked  Seems to me, the more information available, the more questions are answered for new builds and more options for current builds!!!   Besides, I enjoy reading all of the build diaries and I don't even race!!  rolleyes

It seems to me, from the number of hits we receive on www.target550.com, the information that is posted is followed

very closely. I try to show as much of what is done as possible. Then when the car runs, if there are problems and a

fix is needed, the readers will have an idea of where the problem started. They can refer to that area of the build in

past postings and feel as if they are part of the ongoing process.

It appears that this post comes in the same area. Both posts also give ideas as to how a certain part is built and the method

may help another builder.

Thanks for such a comprehensive diary.  I'll see you on the Salt.

We should be completely done with both headers by Tuesday. tongue we will then proceed to placing two more data loggers and start the wiring.  Dyno pulls are right around the corner. cheers

If in doubt, it probably IS a mistake.

Thanks Freud, sometimes I wonder if I'm posting too much info and people will start getting bored with the thread. afro

I think you have more fans than you realize - we appreciate your dedication to the car and the build diary.

Cpt. Chrispy is right -- you haven't heard me asking you to step ack and cut down on the posts to the diary, have you?  Nope -- nor will you.  Thanks very much for your posts.

We didn't work on the car on Monday so we are a day behind.  Tuesday we worked on the drivers side header and are almost finished welding the braces and pipes.  By the time I get to the shop today most or all the welding will be complete. grin All thats left to weld is 1 1/4 pipes at the flange, heat up the braces and bend to pipe and weld, the top braces need fiting and welding, and drill and weld all EGT bungs and A/F bung.
