Don't apologize for long posts ... some of us (ahem, me) are long-winded.
I might be wrong but I believe welding cast manifolds are difficult. Used exhaust manifolds are available and new re-pops are also available.
It looks like you did a good job on the door, especially if it's your first effort. (Ask my wife ... I'm never, ever, fully satisfied with many of my efforts.)
Thanks. I might be completely useless with engines, but I'm pretty handy with tools. Although next time I will route the fiberglass
outside. But it was hot and I was lazy.
As for points, see my answer to StingrayL82.
Thanks for the input. I was told welding a manifold was straightforward, but I haven't talked to the welding shop yet. The manifold isn't going anywhere anytime soon (because that require work). I'll look into a serviceable replacement and weigh my options.
