I id pretty good today. I fit up and tacked 2 of the primary tubes today.....#1 & #4. Lot of tedious cutting, sanding and fitting the pieces on the belt sander. Used a gar wrench tailpipe cutter to make the straight cuts. Worked out nice.
Some pictures....

I also realized something that might be cool. I started to mess with the next 2 tubes and noticed that the could go on the outside of the first 2 versus on the inside. I think it kinda gives me more of a busy'r look. I gota sleep on it and ponder it some more tomorrow..... whatda you guys think?

I'll include a picture from a guy who used this kit on his hemi so you can se how the look on the inside.... \

Ahhhhh that token jazz again

Looks great Coup. I like them on the outside like you said.

 

[Couper]

Thanks Bill. I really liked them outside as well but ended up going on the inside to tighten it up. I shortened up those runs a lot and they don't look so gangly. I have the 3rd tube tacked up and will work on number 4 tomorrow.

Third primary fit and tacked in....one more to go, then the other side.

Nice job OI....just clamped in place. It's gona look great.

Thank you!

 

[Old Iron]

It was a pleasure, you're welcome.

 

[Couper]

One side all fit up and tacked. The square flange you see before the collector will be removed before the collector is welded on. It's just a place keeper for the 4 tubes.
