Im working to mount the nose and making so that it’s removable, basically for the fun of it. I started with these little .050 chromoly plates and formed them to the front end and clecko’d them on (no picture yet)
Attached Image
I then ran a 1/2” .050 rod between the two plates and welded them together. The front of the chassis was shortened and i welded in these hooks. No matter how i took the picture they look really funny because they are angled in. When im back next week ill take a good picture of them. There will be a fair amount more connections to the nose to keep it in place but for now i can say the nose is on!

Finally got all of my parts together, (or so i thought till today) and i started building my turbo header! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) I waited 7 months on my exhaust housing while having all this stainless sitting on my shelf. Looking at me. Judging me. But today i set out on this adventure with my friend guido who brought one of the fanciest tools ive seen. More on that later but for now, marvel at most of what we got finished tonight. Admire the piece we came up with to hold the exhaust housing at just the right height to show off the spinning turbo out the back. Its just a 6” piece of square tube with a v band welded to it. Im excited if you cant tell.

That's some amazing stuff you've got going on there. What exhaust will you be running after the wastegate?

a tube about 12” long, it goes from round to oval and will exit exactly where the lock is. You will see the turbo spinning through it. the wastegate will het mounted in the 2.5” bend and exit right next to the oval

Wow, It's beginning to look like a real car! 2 questions. !; does it matter if the exhaust tubing is equal length with the turbo? 2; I'm impressed that the headlamp covers ended up in the correct position with the shell. Did you mount the shell to get the headlamp location or approximate the location then jiggle the shell about to fit? I hope to see this car at one of our events one day.

It does matter that the exhaust is equal length. it makes the turbo spool more equally. That being said mine will be unequal length to preserve the suby rumble. as far as the headlights, i mounted the shell make a jig for there positions and cut out the original structure. the headlights are very close but they need a little fanangling to make them right, but it won’t be so bad. cant wait for the day to go to a meet!

The other side will have to wait till i get some tight radius 1-3/4 tube so this is how it will sit for a bit.

Wonderful detail work on the tube fitting. That's gonna look killer.
And I'm I a weirdo because I find it oddly satisfying to watch quality workmanship as it happens? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
Good thing we don't live closer to one another - I'd be sneaking into your shop all the time to ogle the fab porn. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)
