So today I had the day off of work, would have liked to work and get the extra money to put into the car. On the other hand it was nice to accomplish some cool things. I thought I would take the time to fab up some pipes for my new mid mount ic setup. My boss is real cool and lets me use his super nice tig welder when ever I want to do some nice fab work. So the day started out with me freezing out in the garage, making sure all the pipes would fit nicely. After a hour, and taking breaks every fifteen minuets to warm up my hands, I was ready to go weld up the pipes. Everything came out looking good just need to try it out on the car.
The newly cut holes for the piping and reduced structural support, have to fix the support thing at some point.

The layout before the welding, it makes such a difference when there's a nice work area, especially when its warm.

Jiging up the parts can be kind of hard with aluminum, I just had the pipe resting on the magnets.

Couple of nice welds.

Finished product, might need some tweaking, I'll see when I try it out on the car.
you need to weld my IC pipes. get on it! your rad support will be rigid enough once you put the vertical pieces that go in front of the radiator back in.
