No beating off this weekend my hands are sore! Learned a lot so far, this took 5 straight hours of welding.
Well, I know what I'm beating off to this weekend...

Btw, sore hand=strange. :emotions33:

Nice work dude! I'm ready to see that baby all polished up. Next R&D, nnbs avalanche? I know a guy...

Holy s h i t p i e c u t s! That’s beautiful….! More detailed pictures please… /Lahey

It looks great from this distance but there are definitely a lot of not so pretty welds in there. Most stem from my tacking which is difficult to smooth out. Also there was some tape residue in the inside which pulls contaminants in as well as me dipping the tungsten in the puddle and trying to ride it out because I sharpened them 100 times already. When I finish it tomorrow and clean it up some I’ll post better pics. I’m waiting on an IAT sensor bung to arrive before I can officially install it and I need to do some clean up on the inside, luckily I haven’t burned through but a handful of time.

It’s can’t be much different than this since I have a NNBS intake manifold and LS2 TB along with E fans.
