Wow!

The colering around the welds almost looks like titanium.

What welder you using, not a Miller Dynasty DX is it? Thats my dream machine.

I doubt it will ever be "finished", however I plan on hitting the rollers before the snow melts.

Its actually a Lincoln Inveritec, V205. Rather small machine, but still plenty good for my garage. I use it for cages, headers, exhaust, radiator overflows, catchcans, etc. Anything small like that. I would hate to use it building a chassis or something that big.

Very nice job on the welding!

Why are your exhaust ports shaped like that?

Those flanges are designed off a C5R head I believe. A guy at work had a few flanges extra so I bought them off him.

Ha...my custom true duals installer was so proud of his welding he felt I shud over look that there was no crossover, and the routing sucked. When I look at ur welds, mine are absolute garbage!!! I don't think its possible to do them better...another reason to do all the work urself - nobody will ever take care of you like you.
