Got the collector tacked to the oval tube.
No gaps to be concerned with.

I measured the big end of the collector with the big vernier.

I transferred that over to the headers and using the laser
marked the pipes with a Sharpie.

In theory????? when I offer the collector up to the headers
(after cutting) it should all line up. :wink:

We'll see. If it does that tells me I finally got a break. :-D

Bravo Mike..Looks great. Speaking of old...I attended my  high school reunion...I did not go to school with any of those bald headed guys or pudgy women, Can`t imagine why they were there............
I`d never advocate drugs,alcohol,violence or insanity to anyone...But they work for me.

I know what you mean.  :-D :evil:

I've never been to one. I never liked the guys
or school.

It was an out of body experience for me.
My body went but my mind was at the oval track.
They don't have rehab for the real addictions!!!!!.

You were spot on Jerry. The SS fights.

Doug, I only drink a beer with my buddy Willie.
Normally I'm a Scotch or Tequila guy. No funds for those. :evil:
$12 for J&B and the same for the Mexican hooligan juice.

Willie's coming around tomorrow with beer and I'll have 2.
Special occasion.

Not one of you guys put me off trying to do the headers!!!!.

Pete, it would be cool to build a 4wd Mustang like that.

It's almost 4AM and I wanted some coffee so I go to the kitchen.
There's a light on in the passage so I figure good enough.

No brown sugar so I go to the cupboard. The jars aren't big
enough to take a whole bag so the missus "normally" fills a couple.

I go for the one with the least in it. Cool, made some coffee. :-D :-D :-D
Not sugar, some granule type stuff. Can't remember the name but the color is the same.

Next jar, make coffee. BROWN RICE. :-D :-D

The last one on the left, the full one was the right one.
I should have turned on the light.

Doug, I hear you.
Oscar said there was a burglar in his bathroom.
The irony is that there is one now. :-D

Hello Mike,
I have a question about Carbon-fiber. I have to drill a 1/2 inch hole into the side of a dragster scoop. I use a drill bushing to locate the hole. It kicks the crap out of high speed drills. I bought carbide tipped drills but haven't had a chance to try them. Is there a better type of bit to use?

Best is a hole saw but on something that small
I use a normal drill at low speed. One with a more pointed
tip works better. Pilot hole first and go up to the next
size.



This must be a serious piece you have Pops.

Never had a problem like yours.
