Heres a couple more pics as promised.. not as far along as i would of liked because we are in process of building a much bigger oven for my powder coating business but we got some done at least today!

log manifold with turbo mounted before finishing welding it up.. its mounted up that high because i still wanted to retain my stock fender liners uncut and just how they come from factory.

getting walls for oven built up





manifold ( let my helper take a stab at some welding here and there on it) didnt do to bad in the spots he did for not ever really tig welding before



had my helper cut out and boxed the floor a little to make sure i had plunty of room for both the crossover for turbo and the 3inch exhaust downpipe





All and all its coming together well and hope to have it started again this week!
