Thanks Michelle! I hate it when "life" takes up all our time and leaves nothing to spare for the important things like car projects. I have a distinct feeling I'll be in the same boat for a while.

Post Packing Up the Miura Station Buck

If you've been following the Miura build thread, you probably know I'm moving to a new state/town and thus everything in my workshop including the Miura project needs to get re-located. As part of...

Post Relocation Preparation and Exhaust Secondary Fabrication

It’s been a couple of months since the last update and the honest reason for lack of an update is that I haven’t been able to make much progress during this time. The reality is that I’ve wanted to...

I TIG weld with a Miller Dynasty and I bought it with a torch mounted rotary dial instead of foot pedal because most of my welding is "in place" not on the bench. The torch switch starts the arc and...

Thanks for the encouragement Marcus! It's now on to fabricating the exhaust secondary pipes. These will be more complicated than on most cars but not nearly as complicated as the headers were.

Surprisingly, the starter isn't all that hard to get in/out. Probably because it's a compact unit and the starter gear is almost flush with the mounting face. My greatest worry is keeping the...

Post Header Fabrication – Second Header Completed

I’ve come to the conclusion that the people who build tuned length headers for a living must be of a different breed altogether. I’ve driven myself cross-eyed with fitting together all these...

Post Header Fabrication – Restart on Header Two (cont.)

To try to avoid repeating the situation where the completed header would not fit, I decided it worth the couple of hours work to put the engine/transaxle back into the chassis for another test fit. ...

Kelly: as before, your observations about potential issues are spot on. Thanks for the feedback!

Post Header Fabrication – Restart on Header Two

As tough as it is to cut up a just fabricated part, I’m over it and busy remaking the front side header. My approach this time is to positively locate the collector position/orientation and then...

Post Header Fabrication – One step forward, two steps back

Given what I’d learned fabricating the aft header, I’ve been busy fabricating the header for the other side of the engine. The main difference between these two headers is that I was able to have...

Post Header Fabrication in 304SS (cont.)

Post Header Fabrication in 304SS (cont.)

I was warned that when SS mandrel bent tubes are welded they would warp/move often in seemingly random ways. This is even when the joints are tight and held with 4 good tack welds. I’m sure the...
