hes got to have so many hours into that piece that he'd have to charge quite a bit of money to actually make an average amount of money per hour if you will.. that is unless he were to find a place to cut pieces in bulk with a water jet or something. i have a place that does this if he's interested.

Very cool piece! It's great to see aesthetic pieces that are functional.

Is that a crack on the bottom side under the stationary gear?

wasnt really fond of the almost 90° angle the the air enters at, which would cause me to use a 90° elbow coupler and then another 90°.. as it turns out it will not fit this way so he is reworking the entry pipe to come straight in... it should fit this way no prob... as a side benefit i will be losing two 90s° and only having a 45°! very excited....

he wasnt 100 percent what kind of room i had since he was not working on it with vehicle available!! this is also his first real automotive piece that is functional... he has since made a dual reservior for an old mustang with sight glasses for washer and antifreeze.. ill try to get pics...
