#1 I haven't bought a TIG yet.
#2 If you read the first post you will see the disclaimer that this was quick and simple that many of you could replicate easily. It isn't that I don't have the capabilities to do better. I have a "go" truck not a "show" truck. It may be as clean as many show trucks but that is just because it is basically a brand new truck. You would really like my duct tape shifter ball I have temporarily.
#3 I plan on getting the pipes ceramic coated and I will clean up the welds before hand. The welds won't be nearly as noticable with the coating done.

More of the intake piping. I have most of the joints cut and fit properly so I can go back later and TIG them if I want to. Also, I don't have my good clamps on there yet.

Thanks for posting some pics of the piping. I am going to run my pipe on the side of the radiator through the core suport in the little holes to the left and right. Have you tried that?

Looking great man, thanks for putting all that stuff up in your photobucket site! Gives me some good ideas. I wish I had any damm welder, who gives a rats *** as long as thy are not booger welds that look like the've been done cold. You really did get this thing back up pretty damm quick.
Does it scare you having your MAF that low?? It would have me worried all the time, that's just me I guess. Not knockin ya.
