Iron man was a fun build doing the 6 wheels, it came together good but the poor body had no luck. when i cut open the hood for the intake tubes a week later it was warped all out of shape and had to be chopped to get it to just fit back to the fire wall and radiator grill, then the paint, the base coat of gold did not like the over coat of duplicolor burgundy, using a pencil eraser and some time and i was able to make the bad paint look like its blasted on all the leading edges of the body.

In a month or two you can send it up to clear my driveway! ;)

Those pipes have taken some serious heat! Nice!

Yup, about 3 seconds with a butane torch, took a few trys to figure the right timing. Thin wall stainless tubing i use for my job, i have sizes from half a mm od up to 10mm. I also flair the ends for injector tubes, make drive shafts, differential axel tubes and steering rods and front torsion bars, just were ever you need a nice straight shaft. I will do a little set of things i make.
