My Custom 408 S88 Build
although, i am lining up an AUTO for the track to shut up some humpers

i like my T56 though because it is 97% street car that i love to cruise around in. not a track car, no cage, etc. some people just don't get it, not that i really care what people think. but like i said.. auto for the track = shut humps' mouths.
That is damn gorgeous!
Id like to boost my 5.3L Thirdgen soon, still working out idea's and funds for that. Got college next year, hopefully ill be able to build up a sick setup like that during school

Your only in buffalo? Thats only bout an hour an a half from where i am, maybe sometime i should drive up there to check these boosted cars out to get some idea's for me car

Keep up the good work!
btw: That paint colour is sick! Im inspired

THis is a dumb question, but what type of tools do you use to make the pipes merge as well as they do in this pic:

I'm just getting started in fabrication and on my first try building something like this I had alot of overlap and gaps. Any tips would be appreciated.
-chop saw with laser
-die grinder with green corps and brown fiber disk
-5" die grinder with green corps
for the merge piece, a cutoff wheel was used. that type of deal isn't easy and takes some patience. basically merge pieces how you want, cut a straight edge into the side where they will contact. cut top section (flange area) straight, and back hammer it. for the WG dump in that pic, cut hole with holesaw in bench drill, then dremel to fit. stick the tube through, mark the edges with a marker, and SLOWLY cut to the line, constantly checking. once the tube is final welded, go back and clean up the edges.
