As for timing, uh here in the next month or so. I got a buddy from NC that said he could help me, but I figured I would look around locally before I go with that...
Look up username "Marshall" on here.He does great work,and hopefully may be able to do it sometime soon.It'd be several months before I could get to it.

B&M sheetmetal can do it as well, I had something done by them, but it wasn't exactly how I asked for it to be because I didn't get to talk to the actual welder.

Just ensure that you talk to the person and explain it exactly how you wanted it.

I had no issues, but it was frustrating. Stupid fuel rail

First of all, thank you everyone for the responses, I really appreciate it

Awesome!!! That's probably something that I could go to, especially if they are open on Saturdays.

I'll keep them in mind, but I would rather keep to something fairly close, especially if I have to make it there during normal business hours.

I'll keep that in mind, I'm planning on drawing/labeling what goes where haha. As for B&M, they are in Roanoke, and that's far out of my way haha .

So have you talked to anybody about getting it done? Any place you've decided on?

Follow up and let us know how they did for future references.

I don't know how far you wanna drive, but there is a GREAT shop in Lynchburg that did some aluminum welding for me. They are called Accutech and they did some AWESOME welds for me. I would highly recommend these guys... quality work and great to deal with.

Not yet, have been a bit busy and put the car on hold until I receive all the pipes.

I'll post up what I will go with, and the quality of the welds.
