FedEx recently left a very expensive camshaft which was shipped next day early am signature required at a 'neighbor business' which according to the customer isn't occupied. So much fail.

So as of this morning fedex tracking had not updated. So I started making calls, Fedex main number could tell me nothing. So I found the number of the local Fedex ground depot and gave them a call, the guy there was actually helpful and said they had been dropped off yesterday morning at 8:35am like tracking said. So I called over to the depot I had holding them and they are just sitting there waiting. When I talked to them yesterday afternoon they were no where to be found. **** Fedex. All my setups will be shipped UPS.

If you haven't already, you should get an account with ups. You can get 10+% off right out of the gate, and then more if you do a lot of shipping. I have an account set up from a previous company that still gives me a few bucks off even though I only ship stuff a few times a year. The biggest discounts are on ground shipping too.

I managed to free the turbos today while getting lunch.

I have no problem using customers UPS accounts if they want. I think I just need your account number and such. At that point I would just charge you what ever the boxes and packing material costs.

At this time I am still waiting on head flanges. They are being worked on, but I don't know when they will be done. Hopefully by the end of next week. I have everything else needed except for a few more mufflers. Right now I am currently working on getting NB axle backs and mid pipes together. Once I finish those this weekend I will move on to making 8 downpipes. Then NA mid pipes and axles backs. Once I get the head flanges in I will immediately switch to getting all the manifolds built.

Interesting outer profile...nice way of making it (slightly more) difficult to weld around those pipes.
Ehh whatever, i'm just in a bad mood. The flanges look good Larz. Those look expensive to make. Add another 5 min to the cycle time and engrave your logo on there.

The flanges are a bit more expensive then normal ones, but much easier for me to work with and flow better then normal ones. I drop the schedule 40 weld el right into the outer hole and it fits perfectly. I don't have to spend time crushing the weld el's and trying to get them all lined up perfectly and such. I should also be getting MKTurbo engraved on flanges, but if it does not happen this batch I will not complain.
