Get well Rob! I'm under the weather here as well...

Glad you like the video, and I'll definitely try to make the Mile to get some footage

I was actually considering throwing the first few notes of that infamous Rick Astley song in my Fest Video submission just to keep everyone on their toes

That might get you thrown out of the competition early... but damn that's funny....

I spent literally all day Sunday running back and forth talking to the porcelain goddess...I still haven't eaten since Saturday...

Hoping yours isn't that bad..

My porcelain praying started last night around 9. Not really sure why, either.

I feel fine until I get a little dizzy and that's my cue. :(

No fun. But hey, I got the Fest video done in time for the competition deadline. It's uploading as I type, and youtube is telling me there's 450 minutes remaining to upload...

Wow, we have three houses across the street with a combined 8 children and all of them are in the same condition... Quite the little stomach bug... I'm finally feeling a little hungry but really gun shy... and as far as the clue, yup.... little dizziness, and off I go... even woke up numerous times for the dash...

I have a link for the video already, it just takes forever to upload and process a 3.4GB file

It's not my fault YouTube has a slow incoming connection...

Glad to hear it,

Debbie is suffering it today... I feel better but I'm not racing right out into the heat either...

I believe the rules of the contest prevent him from making it public just yet...

I've got a couple photos Corey sent me since I've been under the weather and haven't made it to the shop....

I'm trying to get them from my phone to my e-mail so I can save them and post them up...

It's the before photos of the exhaust manifolds and turbos...

We are building a jig to set the start and end points of the new manifolds and then we'll fill in the rest... Corey and Justin will tack it together and make sure everything clears and obstructions and then weld it up. There will be a merge spike and Justin has a serious plan for the collectors... I cant really explain it but it'll be amazing... and top notch...

I'll see if I can get the photos to my puter...

Ok, for the sake of progress, here are the before pictures of the exhaust manifolds... As we make progress, I'll post up more pics of the new ones...

We have the new flanges and the bends of pipe to cut up to make the new tubes... so... on to the fabricating...
