Isn't it funny that in ONE simple email that Im completely over whatever bullshit we had in the past... seriously. I was stuck between a rock and a hard place back then and I don't think either of us considered each others position, but **** it, its in the past and I appreciate the olive branch.
The truck actually is hopefully being sold as I write this, for matters of privacy until the sale is final, i will not disclose the name or user name, but if i had to choose the top three people i would want to see my truck go to, he would be on the list... and NO, its not chase, but he's also on the list! - Props Chase!
Anyways, on to your question... the mandrel bent Stainless Steel 4" cai tube was done here locally at a company that has since gone belly up - i am not using the LF 100mm Maf, its just attached, I tried replacing it without the cuts, and no dice, they were gone, so the Maf stays.
If I do part it out, doubtful really, I will set them aside. Those took a ton of filing, smoothing, sanding, several gasket attempts, the works, just to stop them from leaking inside, but its solid now thankfully.
BTW -- your truck came out sick, congrats! And tell your buddy Chris its squashed too... his truck came out real sharp too.
Anyways, I hope my next post is the sale announcement!

Beautiful Truck Dave. Free bump.
It is very difficult to sell a custom vehicle right now...I ran into this issue with mine. Mostly because those who wanted it could only qualify for a loan up to the KBB trade in value of the truck. The rest would have to be made up with cash. I ended up parting it out and saving a lot of $$$ in loss but at the expense of a TON of time.

BUMP.... had a few possible sales fall through, hence the radio silence.
Now asking $32k OBO... (it would part out for more!)
Please spread the word fellas, thanks!

I would be interested but I am sure that getting this financed would make it impossible for me. I would think that 50% would at least need to be put down.
Amazing truck and done very well!
Wish you the best with the sale.
