Yes sir. I would just need something to go off of for dimensions.

Did some test fitting over the weekend. really loving the new look.

Cant seem to find any D shape end caps for my intake manifold that are worth while. so i decided to make some

Thanks hank. Im really hoping it works out good. The original plan was to do it in 1 solid piece but the cost of material and a large radiused keyway cutter price was a little to high. Heres a couple pics of the finished die.

Heres the start of this weekends project. tubing bender die for oval RMR tubing

On the stock vc the bolts are visible from the outside. I think alot of the extra weight is coming from the material around the bolt holes. i was going for a "shaved" look

Im in charge of the mill dept at my day job so they pretty much let me do as i please for my personal projects. As of right now its 12 pounds. stock is 5 i believe. Im gonna throw it back in tonight to try and lighten it up some more.

It was a 2 day job. 8 hours the first day and about 7 hours the second day. Not counting programing and all the practice parts to get the pattern and the timing chain cover shape down perfectly

Thank you. Alot of time went into that one.

I had another fun project over the weekend for a 12v vr6. turned out pretty good i think.
