Thread: What did you weld today?

I figured it was April Fools joke, so I made my own cracking on Fast N Furious Jesse's saying grace before the BBQ

Hogan, is that VET set up external or internal gated? cause it looks internal gated.

long story... was DE before, customer asked to boost it, he gave us gtir manifold, and pte upgrade 5530 or 5830? but ran into space issue and clocking issues with internal gate. Decided to go external gate and I drilled out the manifold and made an external gate conversion. He had also bought the lobster tail, to work with internal gate, but he said 350whp and he's good. He goes to the dyno and poof his DE cyl 3 or 4 dies. He decided to go VE, he dropped it in himself, had Morris formerly of Midnight Auto tune the car, and made the power w/o a problem, decided for more, but Morris says the car feels restricted. Car was supposed to come back to clean up wiring and re do piping for VE TB angle and customer mentioned about a restriction in exhaust, as he wanted to do straight pipe, I told him hell no, need to address lobster tail. Thats when he mentioned might as well do the exhaust manifold gasket since he thinks it was leaking. I'll take pics today with my other camera and up the pics tonight.

lol, nice!

As promised, here we go....

Oo looks fancy.

Might have you make me one Hogan!

i would say I need the car in shop. I used to make jigs when I was at previous shop, but too much time to test fit the prototype on different cars, and finalize a jig. I'd rather make em as I go.

What's been going on this week...

thats a big collector you got there.
