Omega Omega, schiada96 does some great fab work. He can make anything you want trust me on that.

He also made the transitions from the headers to the turbos. The look good in the pic but look much better in person.

That is one bitchin' engine you got there. what's up with the huge nozzles on the bottom of the headers? It definitely looks as if this guy has skills. I guess I need to get out the ole measuring tape and get some dimensions. Do California measuring tapes read the same as ones in Texas? wink

He didn't make the headers. Those are CMI split top deals. I took off the tops and he made the adapter from the header flange to the turbo flange.
IMCO makes great tanks for sure. But schiada96 made the tanks in his boat. Seeing some of the work he's done I know he could make any tank he wanted to. Round or fabbed from sheet.
Becareful with that TEXAS tape. I hear they come up short sometimes. wink

Although my house don't have wheels and my girl don't weigh more than my truck and I don't......I could use some stickers though. Been thinking about getting another tat. In all seriousness I will get some measurments tonight and get back to you tomorrow for a quote. Do you have a brake or do you just simply weld everything?

I form as much as possible I don't like to weld so I keep it at a minimum.

Better off using Texas tape measurements. Calif. measurements are smaller as being politically correct, we wouldn't want others to feel inadequate. :D

DaveA I lived in Eden, Rockingham county Wow... That's cool...when were you there??
I grew up just south of there- Guilford County, just south of the airport. Used to go up there when the communities were Leaksville, Spray, and Draper- before the consolidation. Also hung around the airport in Madison/Mayodan as a kid.
