Really nice work on the header Trey, but what led to the decision to fab them yourself?

Thank you. Mainly, I just wanted to. Not sure I'm going to want to again though, lol. I still haven't finished the passenger side one. I've got some tighter radius bends on order that should be here this week. Then, I have to go out of town for work the following week. It might be a while before I can show the passenger side. It's been an even bigger challenge than the driver's side.

Nothing wrong with that. I admire people that can take on a challenge like that and come out on top.

Thanks guys. I really like the rims as well. I went with them mainly out of budgetary constraints. Now, I doubt I'll change them anytime soon. I'm going to try fitting the rears on the front to see what it would take to get 9.5's on all four corners instead of the staggered widths I have now. I'm hoping it will work out. We'll see.

Just a couple teaser shots. Design work is done. Final welding has started. Still along way to go considering all the grinding and leak testing I have to do. I'll get there eventually.

Thank you, Marty. I'm a long way off from finished but I'm getting excited. I'm anxious to hear how it sounds and to verify ground clearance. It's taken me a long time to get the headers and exhaust done. I want to drive the car already. The weather has been so nice lately.
