Hi Jay
I don't NEED one right now but I WANT one.
Three reasons.
It's beautiful.
I may NEED it in the future.
I want to support you and your efforts to promote the FE.
Please put me down for one.

Still waiting for the castings, they should be here by the end of September.  And no TP list yet Rob, but I,
'Il let you know.  That probably won't be until November or December.

I'm still on the first machining operation, which is the bottom of the intake.  My CNC machine has been giving me some intermittent errors and stopping during the program, so things are going a little more slowly than I would like.  But I'm working through them...

There's about 16 hours of machining in each intake.  The first operation is a little over 3 hours, and finishes the bottom of the manifold.  The second operation is done with a different fixture setup, and takes a little over 12 hours.  The setup to do the long machining operation takes a while, which is why I'm running all the manifolds through the first operation first, before changing the setup.
