the red valve cover is gay but it was cheaper than the black one

I got those mandrels from "UBENDMAN" on ebay. I got 5 180 u's for $100 shipped. He charges $13 for each bend. He also will bend piping to you custom specs.

Im still gathering parts. So, The project wont be completly done for another 3-4 weeks.

Im going to do a write up when im done though. Maybe make my own site about it.

i'm diggin the duct tape mockups, I'll have to try that versus throwing tack welds everywhere.
