Title: first ram horn
Post by: Atticus on March 07, 2009, 06:18:52 PM
Finally got my ass in gear and got back to work

after not being successful making a collector with my cut off wheel i got a buddy to cut and weld it up for me.
$60 + materials was well worth my time.
 
welded/ported the inside and added a WG bung

good progress dood

they got flanges cut for them payed out my ass for that one back in the day (before Arron was here)

long story short IIM broke up in to IIM and evolution

Peter still runs IIM and its going in the shiter (most of the locals know to stay away) he was the parts guy
Kevin joined the sound guys next door and they started Evolution, his business is growing and hes a cool guy to deal with (he cut and welded the collector for me)
