In all it took about 4 hours to fabricate it from start to finish. The cost was.....nothing really but some electricity and some welding supplies which were minimal.

Good info - thanks. I'm a newbie here so please excuse my ignorance. I've read this thread 3x and may still be missing it - is your secondary air forced in or what? Thank you.
