Why not use the right size tubing to start with that doesn't need to be flared. Most sheetmetal intakes i've seen have the runner end that fits into the plenum radiused to take the place of the velocity stack piece you had machined, that way you dont have to try and transition between 3 seperate pieces, only the plenum and the runner.
The tubing is perfect size for the intake port, I need it to flare open to match my velocity stacks I made. I do believe my velocity stacks would flow better & more even air flow than a sheet metal intake. I am trying to work w/what I have. Thanks for the suggestion.

Then you could work the thicker and thinner areas differently to keep the flare concentric.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I cut to length the other set of six runners & need to measure to see if it will clear my master cylinder. Then I will have the muffler shop try & do a better job. We will see.
