gasket

Nice job and looks like you are doing a great job on the engine too. What material are you using for your gasket?

The easiest way to die cut any material is with a small press called a Clicker.
With this type die cut die you could cut thin copper, probably not heavy enough for exhaust material, however.
I found some gasket material at NAPA that is supposed to be good to 2000 degrees. It looks as if it will work well even on uneven surfaces because it is about an 1/8th inch thick and semi pliable. We'll see!

I attended two of Factory 5's "Two Day Build"s, but other than that the only involvement with kit cars was at shows. I have been a Mustang gear head for 30 years. The kit itself seems to be of good quality, mostly. There are some "fit" issues. The manual is a disgrace for a major kit builder. It isn't even a good companion, let alone instructional. The Factory 5 manual is much better but on the other hand neither of the Two Day builds yeilded a running car as was promised. So my conclusion is no kit is perfect so just make yours work and do the best you can. Karen at B&B is great but they still owe me my seats!?!

Every time I see a B&B build, I am amazed at how much friggen steel they use!

I saw a picture of one that had just been broadsided by an Explorer. The driver and his son were plenty bruised up, but the only things broken were the sidepipes and one wheel.

Kinda reminded me of those Tpyota commercials where the truck gets hit with a meteor and drives away.

Sorry to digress.
