Finally I can say I did a few things on the car, mostly by myself...LOL
Yesterday I received the last few parts that I needed to finish the new brake lines from the MC to the distribution block.
I also welded on this oil drain tube. Vic made a couple of adapters on the lathe and I welded it together. The welds are horrible, but it should hold. Because of how everything is situated, the drain has to take a slight jog to the passenger side immediately after coming out of the turbo. This is a turbo drain for a Cummins something or other. It is fairly flexible and is made out of stainless steel, so it is relatively easy to work with.
Once it makes the jog to the left is has to sweep right, under the up-pipe and under the exhaust manifold, then towards the drain in the side of the oil pan. I will extend this tube so it is all metal under the hottest pipes and there will be a short section of hose connecting the drain to the oil pan.
The waste gate discharge is tacked to the downpipe.
The downpipe itself is also tacked in place.
There is also a 4" v-band at the end of the downpipe that connects to this pipe that shoots the exhaust straight back.
I am not sure yet what's going to happen with the exhaust once it is past the transmission crossmember.
