well it's back to work on the 34 project.some of you may remember the drama it started,but i'll try to keep it down for now. with using a 427 small block ford,we needed to build some one-off headers.our plan is to build a complete stainless exhaust system,so i ordered some nice flanges,colectors,and bends,and got to work.here are some pictures of the compleated headers. hope you like. -danny
Danny, I was fortunate to have been able to work with a true welding professional, another gentleman named Danny here in my area. He, like you obviously are, is exceptionally skilled and I recognize some very nice work from you too. Please allow me to post one shot that demonstrates why I can see your expertise in your work. I witnessed it for 16 sets of 304/409 st. st. mufflers. Great job on those headers! Tom
As usual, your God Given talent shows through, great pipes, love that motor mount, May God Bless Bruce's Rod Shop.
How do you get such good TIG welds so far down in a narrow area like the "vertical" welds on those collectors? (Not that my welds would ever look that good in the first place, but...). Are you using a gas lens... or just a really small cup on the torch... or????
i wish i could take credit for the collectors,they come from SPD EXHAUST.their welds are out of this world.i swear they have little green men tied to a welder somewhere.one day i want to weld like that. for my small welds,i grind a very sharp point on the electrode,and use a small cup.i also use .030" stainless wire as a filler. i hope this helps. -danny
