Nice job Joe ,hey Gary if you have some dollies and hammers you could make the piece just roughly shape it over the existing little sand bags are good for round stuff too

Main reason why I want hardline. So I don’t have to straighten it. What stainless did you use? What sort of gizmo could you make?

Tbh I cant remember the grade stainless, pretty sure it was just regular Aeroflow or similar. I would make a straightener like this, but tbh for $105 just buy one.

I have one of these and they are great, straighten the tube really well

Hey cava that is awesome if you get a chance can you take a photo from underneath for the headers I am going to build my own header so would be good to see what room there is , not sure if you have read my build of late but I have finely brought a lsa for the vh

assuming you can weld and fabricate lol

Hey Cava yes I think I can, well I am going to try, I’m going to do the mini tubs as well ,there is a lot of fabrication that I want to do with the bumpers and bonnet, once I get my new house and shed built I’ll get a Tig and lathe

[Judge1 FrazerParticipant new zealand1983 VB LSA MG9 6060 6 speed View build HERE Member since: February 5, 2016 Posts: 775]

yeah I think when I joined the forum 3 a bit years ago I looked at the l98 and whipple then decided that the lsa was the choice as you say can not build it for that worse if you don’t have a motor to start with

Going to have a go at making the engine mounts and headers for it

you know what Gary I have owned early commodores for about 20 years and just recently found out you can take the bonnet hinges off “who new” as they say never too old to learn

[Judge1 FrazerParticipant new zealand1983 VB LSA MG9 6060 6 speed View build HERE Member since: February 5, 2016 Posts: 775]

Thanks Ian I have found a good video on you tube the snap ring or retaining clip is to hole piston in
