Amazing how far a stick of tube goes. Not very far at all.
Again, looking great.

Well, I got my links back today. I am so pissed, you have no idea. The guy F'd up 2 sticks $100 ea(roughly) So now he is gonna have to buy me 4 threaded inserts
1 link he threaded left handed 2x(and I can't even get the end to go in more than an inch!)
the other link he threaded right on 1 side and gutted the other! He tapped it 2x and cut all the threads out of it.
Here are the pics. It is kinda hard to make out though
I got them back before he could destroy all of them. Damn I'm mad

That sucks man. I'm curious though. Why didn't you go w/ threaded inserts to begin with? They're not all that expensive, and I can't imagine the cost of machining was cheaper. Just curious.

I had a REALLY good hookup on machining...The tube was thick enough that I didn't need the adapters....UNTIL NOW
Cutting and boring those tubes and cutting the threads is a 
job. Whoever hooked you up with the so-called "machinist" ought to share your pain.

I can only imagine that he tried to single point the threads and did not match them correctly. It is hard to screw up a tap that bad..
I don't think you got a really good hookup on machining

He had a tap for the right side and was single pointing the left side...He can do it, I've seen alot of the stuff he's done. I don't blame the person who told me about him at all. He was just relaying a message, that's all.

here are the pics as of right now. I still need to do some gusseting and plating, but soon they will be done.
I forgot to take pics of the tube adapters, I'll get some shots of them tomorrow.
Also, I picked up 2 more sticks of tubing today AND I hope to go pick up a 3.4L this week sometime.
POST UP COMMENTS PLEASE! I feel as if no one is watching this build.

Looks good
I love the tube work. Looks great.
Oh, BTW, you are too damn smart if'n you did all them there computer drawings of yer sliders.
Don't worry about people not posting. Everybody looks, they just don't comment. It gets frustrating when you've done a bunch of stuff and only get one or two comments.
Keep at it.

Aight, I like hearing reply's GOOD OR BAD AS LONG AS THEY SAY SOMETHING!
Not Bad
Not bad man. Looks like its coming along nicely. I gotta make it out there for the unveiling, or at least see it before you tear it down again for another rebuild.

DAVIS? is that you?
Fine, Fine... I check your thread just about every other day and I never say s***. Mostly because I don't know s***.
But it looks like you are having a good time either anyway.
I am curious to see how it ends up. Especially the front end. I'll be looking close at how that works for you.
Keep at it. We are watching...
