The key to the casting resin method is high quality double sided tape. One roll can cost up to 35.00 but it's worth it. I've tossed expensive parts with the cheap shit! #themakingofadualcarbintake

Happy Father's Day Dre! You deserve it. You going to have to replace the whole shooting match?

@cycodre
@garrettodell I'm just going to replace the hose. It was leaking at the connector. The water heater I only 6 years old. You have a great Father's Day as well homie!

@mikeescycleshop
Allot of newer tanks have very long tank warranties.... If you call service and tell em its leaking... If that thing is giving u problems most techs will call it in for replacement if they see a couple o water drops at the bottom of the tank

Have been watching this come together, love your work!

@matt360x
Looks amazing great work. ! But would it have been faster to tig weld one up ? @cycodre

@cycodre
@matt360x This is just one of 6pcs. that the intake is made of. They will all be tig'd together to make the manifold.

@rickyracer1962
That's awesome @cycodre . Pure art

@rocknroll_machinist
That's some real MotherFing skills right there!!

@cycodre
@rickyracer1962 @rocknroll_machinist Thanks guys! It's nice to get compliments on something you put your heart and soul into.

Caption

I didn't show the step where I lay two sided tape down on the first finished surface before pouring in the casting resin. It's the only way to get the resin to release your part without destroying said part. All you do is douche it with denatured alcohol or acetone and the tape gives up. #themakingofadualcarbintake

People see a CNC'd part and think "It's got no soul. Someone just pushed a button and it popped out." On some level that is true but they haven't spent a day in my shoes. #heresmyheartandsoul #youhaventaclue #godilovewhatido #themakingofadualcarbintake

I think I get what your up to. If it is you think exactly like @kalpay only with different materials!

@kalpay
@crazywhitenachinist only a select few can get down like Dre. That's why I respect him to the fullest. @cycodre what A and B components do you use?

@cycodre
@kalpay @crazywhitemachinist Thanks for all your positive remarks guys! Someday we need to hang out! It's called magikast or I use Task 2 by Smooth-on.

@crazywhitemachinist
@kalpay agreed bro! That would be fun. Break out the bikes and the public transit!
