Default Hot Side piping 90% done

Before anyone starts bashing on the crappy welds and whatnot i would like to say i have never welded before nor have i fabricated anything this detailed. i feel quite accomplished and thought i would share. mad props to all of you who have built a car from the ground up this is alot more involved than i realized. here are some pics of my Hot Side piping which is about 90% done, all i need to do is get a T4 flange welded on. any one have an extra laying around they would be willing to part with?

Looks like your making some fast progress, I always liked the coupes. As long as the welds dont leak they will be fine.

Going to the notch is the best idea. The welds look okay. Keep up the great work! And thanks for serving our country.

I'll be home the 19th, should get the hot side done along with the rest of the fuel system. Fire up should be right after the new year!
