"Wild" headers, What do you think...?? (photos)

Don from HD Welding brought down his TIG from FonduLac WI and after 12hours of Measuring, mocking up , Welding, cutting, and grinding... I got my Chistmas gift... Wild set of 2 inch dia. Stainless Steel Headers for my Big Block 455 Oldsmobile...!



First of all let me remind you that Aftermarket shit for BBO 455's aren't as readily available as SBC and the only stuff I could find wouldn't work for this project.

So I started with very little header material... "vendettaautofab" cut out the 3/8 thick Stainless flanges. Then I had bought 4 u-bends and 6 five foot sticks of straight pipe from Cadillackid.

The whole idea was to build a set of headers that you don't see everyday much like Bobbleeds crazy set of "Piss Off Pipes"...!

I wanted to build them "Solid" so that they would last a long time using minimum amount of tig welds.

I loosely based these pipes on Jimmy "Whites" not Shines Hemi Coupe and in particular his roadster Pick-up.

The photo's really don't do it justice however it makes the common roadster stand out like a "Pissed off Snaggle toothed Boxer"....!

Tell me what you think...?

Still trying to think what color to paint the car that'll compliment the headers...!?!?!?!?

 

those are tuff. merry christmas. cool mill!

 

Thanks... I can't get over these things!



I keep on staring at them and thinking how tough they look...!

Can't wait to fire this thing up and hear what they sound like...!

 

Competition yellow with a red interior. A piss ya off color combo to match the piss ya off headers.

Loooookin' goooood!

 

A sure sign of a good fab job is a LOT of staring before you bend and weld......and another good sign is staring AFTER you put it all together....glad you like it.

 

Looks nice...

I'd go for a dark color on that car.

 

Headers look great, but as far as a color.... LEAVE IT ALONE!!! It's done as far as I can see......

 

Wow, those look really nice actually...I love the randomness, is that a word?

Take care!

 

I'm thinking you have a "disturbing the peace" ticket with the olds motor in your near future.

killer. Problem is, now I'm off to the old drawing board for mine! That's what I was gonna do!

 

these look very much the nipples

good work now fire em up

 

No prob, glad to help...did you get my PM, about a testimonial for the new site

 

They are 'outside-the-box", and I love 'em.....great job!

 

I like 'em, also. They're perty damn tight. I'd like to hear 'em myself. Bet they're good-n-nasty. Good work.

 

The Headers really set off open engined cars...!

Just as ... The "apostrophe" is the biscuit"....!!!! (what song is that from???)

 

LOOOVE the Olds mill. It's gonna stomp the piss out of all the Chevvies.

-Abone.

 

Guess I'll be the asshole...I personally don't like the randomness....I like a more uniform flow for asthetics....but hell,you didn't build them for me,so as long as you like them then they're cool.

 

you mean Jimmy White correct?

What happen to the pink wheels? hahahaaa

Looks Good!

 

Maybe... they were loosely based on Jimmy Whites Hemi Coupe and his T roadster, not Jimmy Shine... Not trying to split hairs, Jimmy is my friend, but he didnt build my coupe or the Kandy Tangerine 27 R.P.U. we built at my shop.
Have a Merry X-Mas.
Jimmy White

 

You mean to tell me that Jimmy Shine and Jimmy White aren't the same person?

hahaha! Merry Christmas Jimmy....tell Michelle and the little guy Merry Christmas for me as well.

-Brian

PS...Nice Headers Wingnutz.

 

I think Brian Bass might have had some input on the R.P.U. headers. I think you had the idea for the Bell tips, and some others. Good times for sure!!!
Yeah man Merry X-Mas to you and your Family as well...
JImmy White
P.s Oh yeah I like the headers, stainless is one of my favorite things to weld.

 

headers look killer...

Lux, you building a HOT ROD now? Man...I gotta get by there

 

Man....all this time I was thinking that Jimmy White was kind of a dick....but I guess that might have been Jimmy Shine that I was thinking of all along.

hahahaha....

 

Funny, Jimmy Shine is going to be bummed you called him a DICK!@!!
love
Jimmy White Or Jimmy Dull...
P.s go back to eating Lasagna and drinking wine.. Hahahahah...
P.s.s. Sorry WingNutz for Desecrating your header thread, with our friendly banter...

 

IZ IT ZAPPA?

 

I'm on the same side of the fence as Brewsir... they look like you mixed up two different header kits. The angle of two of them look good, actually, both pairs of angles look good. Pick one. Just my two cents... cool car though, love the mill!

 

Nice work Mark...... I'm really glad you are making progress.... it is well deserved... Merry Christmas...

 

ouhhh...ahhh i like those look very bitchen....merry x-mas

 

Funkadellic! Merry Christmas Mark. -Strat.

 

Ok.... OK.... I changed it to Jimmy White....!!!!! Hahahaha...!!!!

That's some funny shitt Jonnycola...!

Now Bass will be getting in trouble confusing White with Shine and vice versa...!

Thanks Hemi Coupe...!
