Most of all the tube work like this comes from Rob Well's hands, I know alot of guys in the industry as well as you do too...but I have to say Rob is one of the best welder/fabricator I have seen. You would be surprised if you knew who some of his clients were (shop wise), i'm sure these people pass it off as they did it themselves.

Rob,Kenny,Joe, and myself built this car in the shop from a body in white, i'm sure you allready know that but some might not. the only thing we didn't do was paint and powdercoat. I'll get some detailed pics tomorrow and make a new thread about it.

If you had some money, you could buy a new camera as well. LOL.

I thought it may have been Kenny... seen the header's he done on the "Lopez" radial car when it was at Matt's shop, and they came out bad ass too. Sure it means nothing coming from me, tell Rob nice work

Is the bronze bushing required when using these? At what point (lobe lift/rpm/lifter diameter) do the Jesel Dog Bone Rollers become a necessity?

I appreciate you sharing. This level of stuff is so far over my head that just the tech side is fascinating.

The big twin turbo car is so over the top that I could only stare at it in amazement. Truly a testament of the quality, engineering, and craftsmanship that went into the build. Looking forward to more pictures.

+1...looks like these are used to "lighten" the valvetrain over the link bar style
