Not yet, Jeremy....I actually sub'd out the finally tig'n due to having time only to work on everyone else's cars. I am hoping to have the manifold back this week or next then on to fab'n up the downpipe and IC piping, then fire time....its been waay too long since she breathed fire....
I was wanting to do the intial manifold to completetion, but I sold my DD and needed to get it on the move...I will probably finish the other two myself, when the mad rush slows down....ha

Finally its getting on the tig bench.......only 5 months later...gesh...should have it back for fitment this week or next...
I went with a world renown local tig welder, but if I would of known his backlog was this long, I would of source it out to a number of other pros....or just should of welded it myself after seeing the manifolds some shops were selling this past weekend at h2oi....

Its on the lift...i got the manny back from the welder for test fitment..he has it back to finish off the remaining welds....
Taking waaaaaaaaay too long....in the intrim I bought a bigger badder tig machine and will be doing my own welding from start to finish in the future for normal turn-around instead of a lifetime......lol

FINALLY ! ! ! I have it....in my possesion, sorry, I only have phone pix, & i dont want to post those, as you cant see it in all its beauty! But let me tell you its a piece. For the tight tolerances we have on cylinder spacing and the sizing of the collectors, its a tight fit & the welder that i had do the final welds did an incredible job. Took him 6 hours to final weld, but it was well worth it in the end due to bolt clearences. This should work out very nicely in the setup. I will post final pix of it when I remember to take my real camera to the shop.
