Default My intake manifold fab.

I don't really do much aluminum work. I need quite of bit of work still. My consistency isn't great and I need to work on my starts and stops. I incorporated the velocity stacks into the plenum floor. The welds from the runners to the stock flange suck. I tried my best to clean the cast aluminum but nothing worked too get it perfectly clean. I thought I would post it up on here and hopefully get some advice on what I'm doing wrong. Thanks.

Need more consistency with head and filler. Don't stop/start so much. Clean cast runners with A/C current, brush off contaminants, repeat a few times. Done. Did you do those velocity stacks with a router?

What's the purpose of the stacks if their flush with the plenum? I thought if your using stacks then to mount them so their raised inside the plenum? Overall looks better then what I can do.
