Forged LS3 Twin PT66 Trans Am Build

Thanks for the compliments.
Anyways, after much thought, I decided I'm just going to fab my own kit with manifolds for now. It's been too long that I haven't driven it, and I want to get it on the road already. I don't have the patience, or the money for that matter to do headers like I want right now. Manifolds will work meanwhile I save down the road for the material to fab up some headers.
Waiting on new turbos to get here Meanwhile... welded v-bands on to my manifolds, and started fabbing the intercooler. It's a Treadstone 25x9x3.5" core with their cast end tanks and a endtank I fabbed.
Yes, I know my welds suck. I'm still practicing. I've never TIG welded in my life. U mad? Come at me bro.
Cutting off the ends of the tanks and smoothed them.
Welded the endtanks.
Welded to the core.
Bottom endtank I tacked on just to mock up for now.
Mocked up on my car.
Prepping the manifold to weld the vband on.
That's all for right now, I'm going to try and finish the intercooler this week, then start on the hotside when the turbos get here.
