Just a quick update, working on the intake manifold right now.

Remember, the inlet is on the passenger side now.

This is going to be welded up by my Wife's cousin who welds for a living up in Washington. Just another reason I love my wife :)

also, I went ahead and finished welding the intake pipe and support brace. then I painted it with the same high temp paint.

To those of you who are complaining about me painting everything with black and supposedly trapping the heat in.........bite me. ;)

I should hopefully get the intake back in a week, and then I can start installing everything!!!

Hooray! So it seems as though I'm still on track for getting this running by the end of the Month.

Looks like I'm going to come in slightly over budget, lots of little parts pile up quickly, but the total build tally for this thing is:

$1,544.42

Still not too bad. :y

You take one brake line:

I think this man has more patience in fabricating skill than anyone on here. Good work, keep us posted.

Re: 1996 neon M62 supercharger project- new pics 11/05
 

I am still impressed with this... nice to see someone still does a good bit of fabwork themselves..

Haha, yeah-the three hundred reply thread :D

I'm glad he finally finished that thing, I haven't seen him on here in awhile though?

thanks for the comments guys, can't wait to get the intake manifold back from welding.

OK everyone! finally got the manifold back from welding, looks pretty good except for one thing, an oversight I forgot to mention to the welder. The short legth of pipe coming off the end was supposed to be at the same angle as the metal it's welded to, I forgot to clarify that, and he put the pipe pointing straight out, as you can see in the pictures, this creates some clearance problems with the power steering pump.

Anyway, this was the last piece I needed, so now I can finish the fine tune Fab, get it all painted up and installed. I'm going to install it all over Christmas weekend since I don't celebrate it. Need to make sure I've got most everything I'll need on hand because places will be closed :)

On with the pictures (I really am trying hard with this camera to get good pictures I promise!)

I must thank Dom here for giving me the idea about the wrinkle paint as well, I was just going to use the same black on this that I have already, but I think his came out really nice and I'd like to do the same. Thanks Man 8)
