If some remember, about six months ago I bought a used Miller Dynasty 200DX off a drag racer here at work. It was a great price and included everything including the filler rod.
Well haven't played with it much and have done a few jobs using it.
Fast forword, he comes up to me and asks me if I am interested in building a manifold for his car out of aluminum. I do not understand why, he has a sheetmetal one on his car now. Wants to save weight, 15 lbs versus 32 lbs.
So I will post some pics as the project goes along. Got about 6 hours into it so far, that is just welding up the runners.
Here is a picture of the steel one.
