Had to modify the fuel rail today to fit the new nitrous plate and throttle body along with the custom bracket that holds the TV Cable, Throttle and Cruise control cables. Came out better than I hoped with what I had.

The TIG has really started coming in handy for these small sheet metal jobs.

Scary part is the rail still had fuel in it when I was welding :hide: :metoo:
