    Take your time on the prep, that's the most important part of it all!

      Oh of course. I didn't know I could use a power sander... The next time I go at it will probably take half the time lol.

          That's where I first saw Sherman, and a lot of e30 guys say that their metal panels are decent.

              Chris (M20B27) And I found a site that sells non-oem fenders for a decent price. And aren't from Andy's. Andy's is so chincy. Idk man. I'm just not a fan of that site. And the fact they don't have pictures of the actual product makes it sketch to me.

                  Only place I'll recommend in Wisconsin is Late Model Throttle. TJ took me there, and they are legit as fuck. and the price is decent.

                            Yea we have mig welders. We have always only used mig welders. At the machine shop there is a whole slew of miller welders that are beautiful, but I can only really go there after hours and on Sunday.

                              I love welding stainless :) I just need to learn how to do aluminum with tig! I can tig pretty well on everything but aluminum.

                                  A Manifold is one hell of a piece of work! Lots of crazy bends and such.

                                      Yes I do to an extent. It doesn't turn out the best! Why exactly? Also, the manifold I would do would be pretty easy, and almost like a log manifold. kind of like the cast spa manifold?

                                        That's for a 4 cylinder son. UEL (Unequal length headers) are so chincy man. Go for equal length (or close) which means you're gunna have to add bends and wrap pipes around others. But it'll be worth it in the end, if done properly.

                                        Also, the key to welding onto anything cast, is to heat it up, heat it up really good with a torch, then weld to it.

                                          Well duh I can count cylinders man! But yea. Unequal length. Who cares. I'm more into transient response of a log type manifold. Keep the runners short as possible, and the flow decent. Good enough for me! And yes I've heated up cast for welding before.
