Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache

Turns out I didn't cut the manifold at an angle for the v-band, and should have. So I cut it apart again and re-welded it.

Then spent the entire rest of the day trying to devised a mount which would hold the turbo while I fabricate the pipes to run it. Trying to get the right placement so the exhaust can feed it, so the turbo can expel, so the wastegate can be placed, so the turbo compressor can reach the intercooler, so the plugs can be reached, so the oil fill cap won't melt, so the heater hoses will clear, so the AC hoses will clear, so the filter will fit, so the hood will close.........

Not really happy with the mount itself, but I think it's a good placement.
