. Our bead roller will do charge piping, but not small diameter pipe for rad hoses and such. been slammed here. i said i was getting out of fab work. instead i can't keep tubing in stock. just bought two pickup truck loads in last two weeks. just restocked today and it will be gone by end of week.

wow, you really picked up alot of fab work. Thats great to hear. You making money on it or are you still wondering why it seems like you lose money when you pick up the welder?
Ive been working on this crazy exhaust for the GTM that was at WOW. Ill post up some pics when I get more done. Im about 4 days into it and about 2/3rds done.

i make more money wrenching but my heart is to build ****.
i just did true duals on a 86 iroc. it had long tubes so i did 3 inch true duals with x pipe up over axle and out the back like stock using SLP resonators for mufflers. it had plenty of ground clearance too. turned out pretty badass i even impressed myself lol

lol thats cool.
Heres that GTM exhaust. Some of it still needs finish welded and I have to find locations, cut the pipes and install the 3 cutouts per side. How would you like to tackle this jumbled up mess of pipes? The welds look good, but my shitty cell phone camera wont pick up the detail.
This is the collector pipe I handmade. The collector flange on a LS7 is oval. What a PITA this was to make and make it look decent.
