Oh wow awesome. Was any welding needed or anything? Thought they could only be opened up to about 70mm. Or does the 74mm FB TB have an outlet of 70mm? I think I have to pick one of those up soon!

Yes there is some welding required, that's why I just sent it to FB...they opened it up and welded whatever needed to be done.

Thanks! Lots of work....I think I have around 45hrs into it so far, but I'm really digging the "shaved" look

Small update:

Spent about another 10hrs doing some block sanding to flatten out some of the wavy surfaces and hitting some hard to reach spots.

Dropped it off today to get tanked and decked...then off to powdercoat

I started another thread about it in the FI section since that's where I normally hang out.
