Thanks ahead of time.

Lenie --

Tim Bruning has a lead on absolutely MARVELOUS perfectly round heavy gauge SS tubing. It's a food grade so it's even polished on the inside! My headers and exhaust on the '32 is made out of it. The key to this tubing is that no matter where you cut in a bend... the cuts match since there is no distortion.

I tried to find a link to the supplier but couldn't find it.

If you don't have a way to contact him - call me and I'll get you two in touch.
