Stainless log for the Shelby Daytona
Just got done making a 304 stainless log manifold for my Daytona Shelby. Its my first time working with the thick schedule 10 tubing and I know it kinda sucks, but I hope to get better. No back purging doesnt help, I tried to do 2 passes, but a full penetration pass was not working due to all the contanimation on the back side. I did bevel everything, so there is enough fill that the header should be strong. I made out ahead money wise for sure. 80 bucks in material for this vs. buying one from the vendors for $550
Now its off to the machine shop to get the flanges decked flat. 304 stainless sure does like to move when you weld it.
