To those of you who are wondering about Midwest Fabrication, here's their website.  They are busy . . . and I ADORE THEIR WORK!

http://www.midwest-fabrication.com/

And it shows with the work they did on your car!

Wish you were closer, we could get you in and out in a couple weeks.

If Midwest Fabrications can't fit you in, other local possibilities:

Al Varacins,   Think his shop is in Wilmot, WI.

Or

Ken Baurle,   Sugar Grove, IL

Both have made nice headers in the past.

Flanges can be laser cut, or water jet cut, or Mike can crank them out the old fashioned way on his digital mill . . . . .  merge collector should come from Burns . . . .  perhaps flanges as well . . . . .

Does anyone out there know of a shop with an ICE header mock-up kit?   Just off the top of my head, the tube sizes are going to be in the 1.375" to 1.50" diameter range.   Probably going to model a stepped style Vs a 4/2/1 style.

I've fabricated a bunch of headers years ago, and this kit would have saved a LOT of time & investment . . . . . .    A good header is going to be key to getting the power you are going to need, no surprise there.

Here's one for you, Chris!

"Pabst Project" in Portland: http://www.pamplinmedia.com/pt/11-features/234624-98272-project-pabst

Matt Slessler, a field marketing representative for Pabst Blue Ribbon, says Portland is at the heart of his company's body of sales.

"We sell more Pabst in Portland than anywhere in the U.S.," he says. (Pretty surprising in a city with so many craft brewers.)

...more...(the music looks be really ugly IMO)

To each his own, but I will say this.

The Violent Femmes are from here in Milwaukee, and their following is huge in Australia.  Their biggest claim to fame is that they're the only band to have ever had a platinum album that didn't chart a single.  

It makes sense that they are on the bill - they're just about as Milwaukee as Bowling and Bratwurst - and those two things go great with our other nefarious export, PBR.

I never saw them live until I went to Ireland in 2006.  Their sound engineer, Brian Miller, who has also worked with the Indigo Girls, got me a leg up in the audio business, and we were able to hang out with the band in Cork and in Galway.



Of course, while in Ireland, I took the opportunity to consume some of the national brew . . .




So yes, I've flown half way around the world to see a band that practiced 3 blocks away from where Kate and I first shared an apartment.

And I haven't seen 'em since!

I think one pulls a draw.

When I quickly 1st saw this, I thought you were some kind of Magistrate or Parliament Member with the coat and scarf you were wearing.....LOL!

While I profess the merits and enjoy the effects of a good stout or a tasty whiskey, I remain too sober and cowardly to involve myself in Irish politics.

"May the road rise up to meet you."

That way, when you stumble, you can blame it on poor infrastructure. 

[gkabbt]

TRUE.....LOL!

My God you look like Dan Akroid......

Nah . . .    He looks more like George Jones, after a rough night of performing & "consumption".

[Tman]

Ahh yes, the Violent Femmes. Great band from my youth.

[Stan Back]

You're still in your youth.

[Tman]

You're still in your youth.

And I intend to stay that way! At least mentally!
