Very excited to be able to put my sway bar back on this season! Rewelded a new bung on the downpipe to clear O2 sensor from sway bar.

This is a support bar that I just used a big hammer to to clear room for my dumptube which was touching

Buddy Dillon took some photos too and helped me out
We started out the day by fixing an oil leak that Zack chased down to a "Christmas tree" of plumbing tees for his AEM oil pressure sending unit, OEM sending unit, and turbo feed line. Here's where we started:

Good idea of where the leak was at:

So I wrapped some "heavy duty" teflon tape around a brass elbow fitting and put it back into the tee as tightly as possible.

To allow the elbow to connect to the AEM Sending Unit I had to grind down the tee's backside:

Voila

Some other odds n' ends we took care of include a new throttle cable which you can see Spaz cutting metal crimps off of here:
