Some ppl dont realize when you start to use a thick gauge material you should actually leave a slight gap [depending on thickness of material] that gaps allows you to fully pentrate thru the material and have a structure weld. if you dont leave the gap you wont get full pentration unless you crank the heat and distort the metal. the same goes for other materials besides ALU ---

Drove the car for the first time last night. Simply amazing. The tune is excellent, everyday drive ability is there and power comes on nice and smooth. The head/turbo combo is excellent. The power is delivered very smooth and consistent. It demolishes street tires first through fourth and just rips on slicks. I can’t wait till Saturday to see what times it produces. Thanks to Denis for an awesome tune, Roberts Autobody for fixing the accident and a big thanks goes out to Jeffy! The rest of the cage turned out excellent and I couldn’t be any happier. ---
