Looking forward to seeing the finished product. If the welds aren't exactly a "stack of dimes", just don't take any close ups. 8)

 Well been side tracked for while and to some point still am. But while talking with another racer and he had doubts too. I thought hey lets test melt point. I rigged up one of the tubes mounted a temp sensor in it. Took a torch blew flame down tube ran it to 1300 about 200 above cylinder exhaust temps. ran it up and down 3 times. No probelms yet. I held temp at 1300 plus for 60 seconds per shot,lot more than a run or it will never see 1100.LOL Just an update on a crazy idea. Hey almost 20 lbs and money already spent I don't have a choice.LOL

Thats funny. My wife says my thoughts normally scare her. Then I told her I keep the bad stuff in. For some reason that did not comfort her.

tcoupekyle:
Hahahaha my wife probably thinks the same about me….
