looks good, i enjoy seeing this kind of work on a conventional platform, makes you think what you can do to your own.

The manifold looks nice but I really wanted to see the RSX Creepfest Tuning Challenge at iMW and win a free manifold

Want the same as everybody else? If not, get it built by a local fabricator and watch your friends get giddy with envy.
Nice job on this so far, I know how tedious hand-working metal can be.

Re: Drag car project I've been working on.
By the looks of the english wheel pic, looks like .065" or .090" aluminum, right? That's a lot of surface area on the intake manifold. Going to put studs in it to keep it from ballooning?

Re: Drag car project I've been working on.
I thought that as well Tony. After using the planishing hammer it will thin out the material, but it should be uniform if done right. It would be interesting to see how much the difference in thickness is from the beginning and the end.

Re: Drag car project I've been working on.
I did a hot filler rod to my upper lip 2 weeks ago, sucked. A lot.
but wait, didn't you once like accidentally run a filler rod through your ear drum/?

Re: Drag car project I've been working on.
I have a bad habit of putting the filler rod in my mouth while Iam moving a part or what not. I have burnt my lips too many times.
