Default how to make your own end tanks *pics & write up*

first design up what it is going to look like.

then get some cool **** like my brother to make you up some kick *** form blocks out of mdf or wood.

make a pattern out of paper to wrap around the block.


trace the pattern onto some sheet aluminum. in this case 16 guage.

cut that ****** out!

form it over the block with a rubber mallet and some clamps.

here is the other side.




weld the seam where there won't be a hole.

add the hole on the other side.


weld the pipe on, then weld it to the core.

use a hammer to make sure there are no gaps.




stay tuned for the final product. it turned out pretty ------- hot.

I think your "make your own end tanks" write up should have started with:


Buy a intercooler that is half the size of your car.

Buy a couple thousand worth of tig welding ish.

Have a brother that makes weird balso wood projects.

ect.
