    Well I had one of those weld together header kits and have kinda been putting off building them. Yesterday I said to my grandson lets just give this a try.

    Came out OK. They are tacked together and I'm gonna pull them tonight and TIG them together.

    He always looks forward to working on the Hot Rod. He's been helping since he was 3 years old.

    A great inspiration and he's just like his father. My oldest son and I have been hitting the swap meets since he was 7, he's 32 now and we go every year weather we need something or not, just what we do and Conner will be getting the same.

    Finish welded and coated with VHT flameproof paint. I baked them at work in the oven and stunk the joint up, oh well.

    Installed and ready to try out.
