Your nuts are rusty.

I know he is just being an assbag, but if you seriously run into any problems with rusted, stripped bolts or nuts, let me know. I have just about every size stripped bolt remover and ez out.

how big rotors are those Wilwoods running

best x-mas gift ever

haha, i got a set of thsoe for my b-day :slight_smile: – i have yet to use them though… most of the bolts i run into are stainless of sorts.

Those saved my ass getting my slider bolts off my front calipers. Worth every penny!!

Fabbed up the downpipe today (hybrid styles)… i never thought i would be able to get a 3" DP in that bay by the alternator… its close but i think i can squeeze a heat sheild in there to protect it… the elbow to the flexpipe is just taked up

this is the first time ive ever fabbed anything like this

… it was my 2nd time usign the mig welder but i got the hang of it (i tacked the elbow up without any gas cuz i didnt realize that when i had got the tank filled they had turned the regulator off) but once i got that fixed u can see how much better the welds look back by the flexpipe

im gonna tig everything monday

looks really really good soo far. Those whitey bends are some of the tightest cut/fitting ive ever seen… what did you use? Bandsaw? Chopsaw?

just a chop saw with a alum oxide cutting disc… took a 12 dollar 4 foot long straight 3" piece of 16 guage mild steel and turned it into that just doing some pie cuts with a 35 degree angle
