I did a search and found not one of these threads so I wanna see headers manifolds zoomies full exhausts just anything cool
I have collected a bunch of pictures of the old early 60s style headers because that is where I started and I really like the look. So much so that I made my own old style headers for my 56 Ford I'm **** about it I know but I hate to see modern block hugger headers on an otherwise period piece.
Hows about a little bit of molded in lake pipes? Sorry, still under construction, and the pics are huge, so I'll just post links http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=827100&d=1259379569 http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=822885&d=1258945019
Really nice work fabuthis, I guess you tack all the header pipes first, then seperate them, fully weld and then re***emble, but how do you stop them moving all over the place with the heat? I'm trying to run the back half of my 'zorst in stainless, it's a long process, and i can really appreciate your workmanship. Almost got it tacked together the other night, then decided i might want the car lower in the future, so i'm gonna have to raise the trunk floor and redo the kickup over the axle! one step forward..two back.
I remember when Nads posted that he had paid $500 for dual exhaust and asked, "Wasnt that a good deal?" Ummm, No. I collect free tubing and make my exhaust systems for the cost of the oxygen/acetylene. These tail pipes for my 1960 Ford pickup were heat exchangers. Heres before and after
