of course the final panel would be impossible to weld on the inside BUT you could ask the finisher to leave those 2 welds alone and have them be the ones facing down towards the ground.

I already took the manifold to the fabricator to be welded in the inside and on the outside. As you said the only panel with welds only on the outside will be the back one (last to be installed).
Today I had to listen again to the speech that the fabricator gave me because of the grinding of the welds by the polishing guy. Thank god it was only the fourth or fifth time he gave me the speech since yesterday at 1:00 PM !!
As a side note I was informed today about the more than a few Magnus Intake manifolds that had blown apart on Mitsubishi engines .
The manifold will be here on Tuesday and I plan to install it without being polished because the polishing can take about a week to complete (it is polished by hand) and I don't have the time to wait for it. I have another tC waiting for an engine and I only have a one car garage. Even my own car sleeps outside this days !

^ can you talk about what you know about the stock fuel pump compared to the singular install of the one you are using? I surely do not need 2 pumps ... but I was wondering how much of a need it would be for me. Can you give me some details so I can make the right call? Thanks.

^ almost. But will the new pump benefit me or should I stick w/ the OEM? The actual question I am trying to conclude with is, "what profile car does the new pump benefit and who should just stay w/ the stock pump?"

I removed the fuel unit and discarded the part of it where the OEM pump goes so I end up with the sending unit alone. Like this.....
Both pumps together can fit side by side in the space available . I am going to build an aluminum fuel block which will directly connect to the fuel pumps forming a "Y". I am building this block because the available "Y" 's are too long for fitting them in the space available.
This is a mock-up of the block that I built using a spare block of plastic...
On the inside it will look as you can see on this diagram....
I will try to finish the block tomorrow as I am leaving for work now !!!
