OK, here are the downpipes for the modified shortie headers I'm working on. Not as pretty as J's, but they are tight and solid welds. Ran out of argon, so off to the welding supply.

And here is the other project that has delayed the Mustang so long. Digging worms from the garden, he decided to have worms as pets. (yes, gratuitous kid shot, sue me.)
Nothing wrong with kid shots, cute pic,kids and grandkids grow up so fast, our grandaughter is 8 going on 14!

That looks nice--I bet it was tough to find good mortar to attach those to . I am starting to feel bad about posting that sweater picture--I might need something nice made someday--old buddy, old pal--lol!!

Correct Rod. 100+ year old building. The top two holes of each mount has a solid all-thread rod going though the bracket, through 4 courses of brick and has a large square washer inside to pull against for up-lift from wind.

That's why I also left a 4" air gap between the top of the solar panel & the building to let air flow up & through.

What? You couldn't just weld the entire structure onto the brick facing? I'm very disappointed, Jeremy...

Bucket truck? or ladder work?---what did you put on for a finish? it would be a nice place to compare por 15 or zero rust ---I have used 0 rust with pretty good results---very nice work!
