Yes, 2/3 of the charge pipe is done and the last section's not that far behind. I also broke down and ordered a dual pass radiatior & its here now, final welded the crossover. Been meaning to post pics but keep forgetting to take them lol. I'm getting married in 25 days and my goal is to have this car done before then, we will see how it goes.

Congrats on the up coming wedding! I had to make mine promise me we would finish the hot rod if we got married. She's a good egg, she held up her end of the bargain!
I was thinking about you the other day. Wondering how far you went with this car. Like the direction you're headed with this new setup! You have gotten quite handy with the tig...
Haven't seen David in a few years, but I've heard he has a pretty quick hot rod now a days!

Dave is good, he's my best man lol. He's coming down to my house this weekend to watch the lights out race and we are supposed to take his new car to monroe next weekend, he just swapped to the Holly Dominator efi system and the car is a rocket!
Great to hear from you!

A couple of update pics, not much but its progress lol.
Crossover is final welded & I added tabs to the flange to hold it to the support so if I ever needed to pull the turbo off later on the crossover would stay mounted to the turbo support.

Cold side progress, have one short run left to fit up and weld.

little bit of progress over the weekend. Cold side is now done, just need to pressure it up and test it.

How are you gonna go about pressuring it up to test it. I'd like to do the same thing to rule out an issue I could be having. I just don't see an easy way around it with the tube hooked up to the throttle body as cam overlap would just let pressure escape out the exhaust. I'm all ears.

You can ONLY use T-bolt clamps on this setup to hold the coupler together, worm gear clamps will let the cap blow off. the top of the cap is drilled and a 3/8 barbed union is tapped in using a plastic epoxy called "Superfast" to glue and seal it off, i also lay a few beads of superfast on the pvc cap & let them harden before stretching the rubber coupler over it, that way it wont slide off under pressure.
