Was working on 66 headers, sneaked on of my collectors in while at the welding desk



and got the materials in to make the 3-1 and secondaries...

[ForcedFirebird]

Well, I got the collector tacked and couldn't wait to show it. Stupid 10hrs engineering this stupid thing, I'll let the pics do the talking. Have to weld it solid, trim both ends and weld the expansion pipe on, but whatever, $280 saved on Burns in favor of 10hrs, ftl, but now I know how to make them FTMFW!...





Ben says we should put these on 660 headers, but who want's to pay the difference?

[bob442]

wow, that looks alot better than my attempt of 3-1 collectors. how do you prupose to seld the mains to the collector? looks a little tight in the middle

[robertisaar]

that is something i have always wondered myself.

come on John, spill! as a novice welder, i need to know!

[ForcedFirebird]

They're not as tight as they look, there's about .25" between them. Long tungsten and pre-gassing it.

Put them together to see what they look like lol...

[ForcedFirebird]

Car is painted, time to put her back together

[jeffheron]

Wow! its now looking in pretty good shape, which bumpers you will put on?

[pocket-rocket]

Looking good, John. Those wheels and the body color really really go well together, it looks awesome Are you planning on boosting it down the road?

[robertisaar]

this is John we're talking about.... frankly, i'd be concerned if boost WASN'T on the menu.

"Forced" has a meaning behind it :P

[pocket-rocket]

Yeah, but "Forced" was also meant for the Fire-chicken too.

Got the OEM fog mounts today, finally! Have 2.5 sets of the lights even, one has a crack, though FTL.

Got a hold of an almost-mint spoiler and mounted it today Now just have to replace the rear chrome window spline and the exterior is finally to my taste except the rims. They look good on the car but am thinking about something for a change.
