The unfinished weld joint is there because I wanted to consider whether or not I’d be able to get the whole thing in/out. I’m considering a v band clamp there.

Is there going to be one more weld near the bend? It looks like you have it marked up for that. If not, how will you make that joint stay sealed?
I can use MIG and Stick, but TIG is still above my talents, Yours look professional to what my attempt would be like.
pay attention kid, that is where the v band discussion is.In this picture Mike. Is there going to be one more weld near the bend? It looks like you have it marked up for that. If not, how will you make that joint stay sealed?

v band, do not confuse it with a hair band.Wellnow I have to google a V-Band
ok Now I'm good
There’ll still be a silicone 3”-4” adapter at the throttle body. Right now, I’m just holding the thing in place with some part of an air cleaner base so I can mock the fitment. The dilemma is that the piece of steel has to be twisted and contorted into place as it is w/o that last piece welded on. I’m afraid that I won’t even be able to do that if I make the thing all one piece.I like the vband idea quite a bit myself Mike. Do away with as many of the rubber links as you can, this project should be the one you really love to open the hood on.
This is another do it 3 times if you weld it in place and no simple unbolt it and slide the coupler out of the way. Don't have one of those "What was I thinking when I did this moments"I don’t think I could get it back out if I make it one piece. I really prefer that it is though.
I think I’ll be able to slide the 3”-4” adapter off the TB, and back up onto the tube.

Photobucket sucks.One more check mark towards getting the thing off of the jack stands..
The mount is made.
The trans is wired, the shifter cable is hooked up again.
the old pass-thru in the firewall is plated, and the heater hose is tight.
( Now I gotta make a new hole somewhere else for those wires to come back through.)
The cold side is complete, currently waiting on stuff from Summit to allow me to finish it all up ( There’s a box from them on the front porch as I write this)
That box has a silicone 90, and 3 t-bolt clamps.
this is the new and improved charge tube, now sporting the v-band...
much better.
Tomorrow, I’ll put the exhaust back in place, and try to get the down pipe completed. If I can do that, I’ll paint that bitch, and while the paint is drying,...install the trans lines and the dipstick tube.
Im thinking this monster is too monstrous for me.
* fcking photobucket..now they’re putting a watermark on the pictures,....just wait till tomorrow when I email that ass...
I’m aware of that, Ive used it before. The issue usually is that the pics are on my phone, and I’m updating the thread from an iPad or pc. That, and the 5 image per post thing have always made it easier to use a 3rd party hosing service. The watermark is supposed to be small, and in the corner, not covering the entire freakin image. As many pictures as there are in that account they want to charge me like 12.00 a month to store them there.Stangnet hosts images. Just upload them directly to the thread.
