I thought I'd get away with not using bead-rolled 3" pipe ends on some my charge-air piping.

NOT!

Bead-roller machines ain't cheap and start around $200 for the junkie ones.

Watched a few Youtube videos and focused on vicegrips.

Hal had pointed out that Lenny had included pics of his DIY vicegrips unit in his build thread (which I hadn't seen) but I had already came home with the parts to build it, which strangely enough were exactly the same as what he'd used.

This is pretty much the same as what Lenny used.

Works like a hot-damn!

Well I redid all the couplings that had no bead-roll on them and I took her out for a trial blast today and saw 22 psi on the boost gauge for the first time.

She's showing some pluck finally and I'm having a blast driving her.
