I''ve got the exhaust all finished up. I think it will have a great sound and it is very sanitary. All the wiring is finished. I removed the bulkhead covering the fuel tank. I need to finish the fuel delivery system and start the engines.
I'm going going to the annual FabTech show in las Vegas on Sunday and will be looking at all the latest fabrication equipment for Mid Valley Metals.
I'm pumped up to listen to these guys run.

I've got both the Port and STBD exhaust collectors. I'm going to take them to the shop in the morning and have a qualified welder finish them up.

Check out the tube angle cutter I made to get all the angles just so. It has removable seats so I can change the pipe size as long as it is bent on a 6" r. It works well and took about 2 hours to cut all the angles.
