Default Got bored, made a big STB...

I had some 1-5/8" pipe laying around and after a couple of hours I had a nice STB. All it cost me was a can of matching paint.

That looks really good. It makes your engine bay look like it means business.

Thanks guys, it came out better than I expected. I had someone offer to buy it at the local meet but I made it so short it wont fit an LS1 vehicle. I could always just make another one though.

Looks pretty cool for just some scrap. I bet setting the timing in that thing is a bitch, and or putting a rotor and button on.
