Here's a few of the exhaust system being installed and finalized. The mount bracket is made.

This really helps when you need to get in there for whatever. The headers will go through the firewall.

Here you can see the header and how tight the fit is to get this all to work. Lots of braze welding to get all these curves to connect.

I was worry about a lot of heat building up inside the plane with such a confined entry for air. I may put a fan in it but the second pic is taken from the forward cockpit so the hot air radiating out from the pipes should be able to get out easily. It looks like an easy install but it took a few try's and failures to get it right. Huh

There are some crazy bends. Not to happy with that either..

I could do that and I considered it but there are three different size pinks on this plane and I would need to cut (I'm guessing) around 100 feet of the stuff. Hard to stay accrued.

You mean you couldn't just buy that exhaust manifold pre-made locally? I'm shocked! Wink

I need a new keyboard now - mine died from all the drool that's been falling in while looking at the pictures in this build. Looking really nice, Al.

What's your expectation of weight? I don't know and to be honest about it, I'm afraid to fine out. This plane may need a special MAAC sanction. Or a mammoth scale thingy, or what ever it is they call it..

Sure was a lot of work to get this far along but I'm still very much enjoying the build. The last shot is with one coat of poly-crylic.

I've never done this before so I decided to start at the bottom.

Didn't take long at all. After about 2 hours the fuse was half done and I hope to finish the other half today. That could all change when I get to the wings. They require stitching and it may not be so easy. Time will tell.
