^ probably because a VW Cabriolet for my wife project sounds lame. hah
dan, cmon…
how could one of your projects be lame. even your cavalier project is killer.
Brian
Im not saying it IS lame. But the title isnt something youd be like " ooo, I GOTA check out a cabriolet build… for a girl" lol
Lots more progress tonight. the live center I ordered to use to flare the tubing showed up. I flared them all so they would be JUST big enough not to go through the hole in the flange. Here’s how in pics:
With that done I tacked the runners to what is left of the lower intake and then welded the runners to the flange on the inside.
welded the outside to hide the penetration from welding hte inside and to add more strength
and then ground them down wiht a carbide burr and sanded with 80 then 120 by hand.
And how its gonna look on the car
The wife is going out tomorrow, so Ill be working on this after my daughter is asleep. Might get the plenum on tomorrow!
Dan
woot
i love your work, keep it up :tup:
:tup: Quality
Super sweet!
I continue to be blown away by your fabbing skills. :tup: :tup:
how dose the other end look… to the head shape. I didn’t notice what looks like the size of the head 3rd pic up
The flange for hte head is acutally the stock lower intake mani cut down. So the runners are exactly the same size as the head. That what you meant?
Its almost done. I just need to add a bung for the IAT, weld on the fuel rail straps, and figure out how Im gonna handle vac lines.
Welding to the old cast aluminum sucks.
Dan
The piping is so simple, I love it!
Finished the intake up today. Basically just welded on a few bungs for IAT, BOV (crap, forgot brake booster) and FPR. Also got the fuel rail straps cut down and welded on (hate the cast alum).
I also made up these as part of a project to come. 
Dan
lookin good. great fab skills like mentioned already.:tup:
I’m impressed, alot of you guys apear to be damn fine fabricators
A little more progress.
Finished up the oil cooler lower mount and rock guard.
I also cut out the new support for the upper core support, and finished modifying the latch assembly. No pics of that just yet.
