I believe it is MDMC that built it, IIRC. The 1300R Z06 or something like that. They posted pics of the early stages of the TT build months back.
Wiggins clamps give me a chubby.

Still a sweet car regardless of the welds, and I certainly could not do any better so no offense meant by my comments
Thanks for the compliment on the avatar, got $2?

Well, look at the welds on the turbo plumbing just after the turbo (downpipes) and then look at the welds near the clamps. They need to hire the same guy who welded the downpipes to weld the Wiggins flanges on as well as the downpipe welds are clean, clean, clean!

Not to be a hater but.....
You do realize that you are comparing Alum vs. Steel welds right?
Thats apples and oranges my friend, when it comes to welds.
Most "pretty" alum. welds, don't hold for junk, and have poor penetration of the metal. So, honestly from a durability standpoint, though welds look perfect, maybe a touch shaky, but good beads on them.

Never the less a very nice job and the thing must be a monster. I wonder how this car would stack up against the infamous 1000 RWHP LPE C6 we saw on here not long ago.
