Ok. I promised action shots yesterday, and some actual fabrication shots.
Well. Here ya go.

My day at work today.

8:00am. Get to work. Notice that the new flanges for the 2-1/4" headers I am going to be building have come in.

Stainless 304 nice and thick.



Then i notice that they were square/oval instead of circular. Great!



This means that i will have to modify each tube to fit inside the flange.
This involved alot of hitting, bending, and a tourch.



Well after going that for awhile I was actually ready to start mocking up the headers.



Yup.



yup.



Then Paul decided to interupt me to weld an a/n fitting onto a catch can.



Tig welded. polarity= ac, argon shielding gas, 140 amps of power, aluminum filler rod.



Then it was back to the headers.



Heres the first completed runner.



Heres the 2nd runner on the welding table.
Tig welded, polarity= DC-, 2% tungsten electrode, 115 amps of power, argon shielding gas, 308 filler rod.
