slight leak where I welded in one o2 bung, but I'm dropping everything friday to do header wrap, which I'm going to buy right now. I'll upload pix when I return

 
Put on thicker wider mud flaps sunday , looks gnarly. And I've acquired a mystery rattle. Grr

Had to fix some crap on my headers. When I welded in my sensor bung I got it too hot and it warped, so when I put the sensor in and it cooled everything warped together and I destroyed the threads when I took it apart to wrap them. So I jb welded it in and hoped for the best, and it didn't hold. Got thinking today... Bung it's already boned, so is the sensor, frig it lets weld it. And so far do good. If anyone has a shop weld a bung in and they aren't well trained welders, tell them to stitch it in and go slow or it'll get messed up like mine

also thinking about skid plates

Brand new sensor 2 months ago. It's in my new uel headers, if it goes bad I'll just cut the bung out since that got messed up too. After a whole winter of welding and fabricating at work some of that stuff doesn't bother me anymore " eff it I'll cut it apart and weld in a new one" has been said a few times in the last month, it's breaking studs that really scares me

There is no mistake that can't be fixed with a grinder and a welder.

after spending a whole winter welding broken equipment back together, i can say that this is the absolute truth. and all that time grinding makes you think harder next time so you don't have to grind it back out
