Was told today that the first batch of intakes (100 pieces) were cast last week, and they will be machining them on Monday. I plan to go down to L.A. next Wed (12-19) or Thurs (12-20) and pick them up. I also have a crate full of high capacity oil pans to pick up. Not sure if I can fit it all in the van, or if I'll need to rent a small U-Haul trailer, as it's going to be a full load. But to hear they are finally going to be done, made my day.
Also heard today, that the flange sets for the triple Weber intakes are being cut tomorrow, as they finished the programing this morning. Once cut, they will ship them over to the weld shop, which is a different company. I'm hoping they will have them all ready by Christmas, but will still need to have them polished (another four to five weeks). If all goes well, I'll have the fabricated polished aluminum triple Weber intakes in stock around the end of Jan. When I drop them off at the polishers, I need to talk them into doing three or four ASAP. Will needs one for the ice motor (like yesterday), I need one for my 66 coupe, and I have two customers waiting for theirs.
Its just nice to see it all finally come together after starting the project a little over two and a half years ago. Took a lot of patience and money, but we're almost there.
