A damn slow day on the List! and a pic!!

[jdbubb at ix.netcom.com (Dan Bubb)]

I wish!
The manifold is only 3.5" from surface to surface as opposed to ATP's manifold that is 4".
I just wasn't going to pound on my firewall for clearance to the turbo so needed to use really tight 
radius weld els.
Anyway, the tight radius weld els aren't available in stainless. The flanges aren't stainless either 
so what the hell!
Bead blasting does make stuff look nice!
It'll get a flat black ceramic coating when I'm done fabbing everything.
Thanks for the compliment.
Dan
