Intake polished and ready for final welding

Why is it all the pretty parts have to be hidden? First the fire cone in the exhaust header, now the polished intake runners.



Going for final welding in a couple hours.

Intake manifold is coming along

Well its finally coming along, I cleaned up the welds over the last couple days and tonight I wet sanded and started preparing it for polishing tomorrow. I am hoping to drop off the runners, plenum and throttle body plate off for final welding tomorrow, maybe it will be done after the weekend.

Intake manifold welding

Got the intake manifold piece back from welding this morning, the welder did an amazing job, and when I am done cleaning up the runners the piece will be going back to have the plenum all welded up.

Quick update

I had to send out the aluminum intake for welding, my poor welder and my skills just couldn't handle welding 3/8 and 1/2" material to much thinner aluminum material, I hope to have something more to post with it this week with some progress pictures.

Going onto other things, I have gotten many of my suspension parts in, at least enough to start on it, although I do need to stop at the metal shop and get some tubular piping for the polyurethane bushings and arms.

Unfortunately I'm still doing a ton of work to my daily driver so I am hoping to have a few things updated shortly.
