    First Build (Moved from smoker build section)

    I got some 2 x 2 x 24" tube with lead in them around 35 lbs not full use to use them as ballast for the race car to make weight. I can't beleive I made that mistake as an aircraft mechanic I play with weight and balance all the time.

    I almost did the same. I got lucky and was wire wheeling the inside of the CC stepped back and looked at the curve of the garage door and got the tape out I will just clear at 30" if I need to go that high.

    Thanks for the reply.  I know pipe flows better but it was eaiser to cut the square out than cutting a round hole plus 10 bucks for the 5" OD square tube its a little over 4.5" OD. The Feldon calculator says 4"pipe 31" and 4.5" pipe 25" so I can raise if need be. The Sq. tube is 36" so I have up...
