    Also, I need to buy some metal pipes and what not to do turbo piping and piping from a FMIC, anybody know the best place to purchase this at? What are suggested metals and thickness's...

    Thanks!

    I think they're national. you're looking at a big project though, not as easy as it sounds.

    probably get .090 wall aluminum. as for the thickness (people are going to hate me), look at an existing kit and knock it off

    check out http://www.musclemotorsports.com they sell 1 time use race car (nascar, top fuel, etc) parts, you might be able to get a cooler for cheap.
    Big truck, a station wagon and a Mammoth place. Nothing too fancy.

    Yup, welding aluminum is about the hardest kind of welding there is.

    It's pretty hard to weld aluminum.
    You have had a training on welding aluminum ?
    You did this before ? If not, forget it !
    I had a training on welding metals, but it's too hard to weld that shit.
