That's the plan, I'm going to make the other side today. Hopefully it works out where they're really close to being even. One of my friends is a union pipe fitter who's not working right now. Might try to convince him to come weld it for me lol

Booked to go to Florida 12-15th of July. Never been there. Going to see what all the crazy people are about.

Smart man, leaving before the weekend so you don't get to see the true crazies. Staying in Tampa or Lakeland?

Unreal

Lakeland. No rental this time since I'm tagging along with someone that already got one. Just a quick meet/greet in and out.

Dude_man

Well that's no fun. How can you live up to floridas motto? Come on vacation, leave on probation

This! ^^ I did a two year project in Tampa. Actually brought my C5 down. Customer was in the Ybor City area. Now that's some crazy **** there..

Rented an apartment in New Tampa area. That was like pulling teeth just driving back and forth. Was the only place I could find an apartment with a garage..

How are you holding your front bumper cover on with just the fabb'ed pipe? Is there enough support from other area's to keep it tight?

Nice down pipes...err.. up pipes

Dude_man

I tend to stay away from tampa, unless its SOHO.Ybor is sketchy as **** lol


Right now it doesnt have anything. Im going to be adding supports and zeus fasteners

Just ordered a bunch of 1/8" sheet 5052 to start my next vette project. Fabbing is so much fun.

Dude_man

5052 aye? Plan on bending it up? What're you making? I need to crab some so I can make my end tanks

Unreal

Custom shroud and end tanks for intercooler.

Friend got some 6061 and it snapped as soon as he went to bend it. Ohh well.

What size of plate did you use to box in the front frame rails? Also did you mig or tig it. I will be doing this to my Z06 soon for more for my turbo build. Thanks btw.

Dude_man

I don't remember I believe 1/4". C6 or c5? The c6 is aluminum

c6z

Dude_man

I'd recommend some thick aluminum since you'll have to bolt the bar to it
