I'm in sweats and a fleece. I thought the shorts were pretty aggressive for March 14th. And your part would look like it was guided by scrap lumber.

I'm probably going to get a less cherry valance panel and modify it to look as OE as possible with C7 Z06 tips poking out the center.
I need to find some eager engineers to come work at my place. It's nice to have some help you can trust to produce decent results.

You have to be careful with that wish. If you get too many of us together nothing will ever get done because we'll spend forever optimizing the design for first task you give us. That's on a good day. On a bad day will spend hours optimizing the design of something you've already crossed off your list. I'm impressed that Angry and his helper made as much progress as they did!

As someone who just retired after 17 years of running an R &D department, I assure you this is more truth than poetry.

When I was in college I did an internship at a local company that makes boat parts. When I was there they were developing, I think, four or five brand new products that either the market hadn't seen or the only options on the market were just kinda meh. Big push to get them out and on the market because the patent for the main product was going to expire in roughly two years from when I was there. Great place to work, owner had no formal engineering training, but was in the engineering dept constantly and was constantly teaching himself. They were always pushing to make their products better.
Its been at least half a decade since I was there and they have released one of the products.
Very nice.
Make sure you're cleaning off the chrome well back from your weld line - at least an inch back. Sometimes coatings like that will do weird things like blow big holes in your welds. Contamination and all.
That and the whole poison gas thing.
I stepped on my own dick today, and took a pic just for you
Decided I needed a test port in a brand new exhaust(finished and painted even...), and harvested a bung from the old system. Clean as I could and contamination still bit me in the ass.
Some days you get to be the windshield, and other days you're the bug.
Keep your chin up. Used exhaust can be some of the worst stuff to TIG.
welding is the only time I suffer from too much penetration

Looking hawt
Fixed it.
I decided that I learned enough on header #1 to just skip the painters tape and go straight to tacking on header #2:
Judging by the progress (they look way cool by the way) on the headers, have you decided "yup, not gonna need the manifolds after all."?
I am glad its getting warmer up there. I was missing the updates

Definitely not gonna need the manifolds, but I no longer have them. I have a set of shorty headers that are supposed to be direct bolt-in replacement. AIR injection ports and all. I make you good deal on those.

Can't argue with shorty headers.

Spring: when middle-aged Detroit dwellers turn their attention to Tig welding on trashy exhaust pipes.
Like the way you are making those snakes fit in there.
