Anyone else have pics of more cars with FENDERWELL HEADERS?

BLEEDS is the only one ive seen w/ fenderwell headers, ive seen some pics of the cars that bleeds dad had at his shop back in the day, anyone else have pics of em?

I dig the **** out of the sound... they're wierd, funky looking snarling tubes of chrome that POUND on the round like a base Drum...

I'm thinking of building a pair for the hemi...
just wondering if anyone else had pics?

 

There was a black roadster at the pileup with some on it. I'll look for pics tonight.

 

Here is the set I built.

 

no but i know what the fender liners look like after they are gone!its easy to change sparkplugs with the tires off!

 

eyeball this is the car your talkin about, one of the HILLBILLYS. I LOOKED at this car and Never noticed the headers. If I make em, there gonna be CHROME and there gonna be WILD.

 

Sounds cool. How do you make em?

 

Fenderwell headers yer ***! These are piss-off pipes, no better than dumb-*** turn-downs that blow all sorts of **** into the air. What are you thinking, or are you thinking at all?

 

Nick heres a good start...

my header flange... from here you bend the tubes on a pipe bender, either in a sections and welding them together or in single pieces

 

Thanks Tuck. Can you buy Header Flanges like that new?

 

Av8... I'm not building this car to please anyone else but me... and if i piss a few guys off in the process please dont think i didnt think about it before I did it... thats the whole point. Its 60's and fits with my build plan and I LOVE IT.

With all due respect.

Tuck

 

Speedway has a lot of them.

 

I don't think Mike likes 'em. I've heard Bleed's up close and personal. They are definetely "piss off pipes" to the extreme! Those are really LOUD!

 

My roasdters headers are NOT fenderwell headers, they are custom made PISS OFF PIPES.

They were made for the car in the 60's to piss off AV8.

Seems like they work. HaHa


To be honest, when I rebuilt the car I had second thoughts on using them. I thought they were guady and I diddn't want the car to be pipe heavy.

Then after thinking about it I realised that I had some actual "ONE OFF" Hot Rod headers and I would be a fool not to use them. They do piss off a lot of street rodders, and some times they mess up my hair, but I like em anyway.

They do sound wicked though.

I can't help than I'm an ***hole, it's the pipes fault.

 

you can make the flanges yourself, I have the file in ACAD if anyone wants it email me ill send it to ya. You can pick em up on egay too. You could trace out the exhaust gasket on a thick piece of metal and cut it out w/ a plasma also...
just buy them its easier.

BLEED the only time I could tell they were ******* anyone off was at FIFTYS, otherwise they rock.

The files I have are for a 331 HEMI

 

It's not about pleasing anyone other than you, Tuck, although that isn't a priority in your terms.

It comes down to a dumb**** configuration that most racing organizations and tech inspectors will send you home for having this scheme on your hot rod.

I hope this helps you understand; it's not about you, it about the rest of us.

 

bobhleed -- that's a puzzling statement. What is it that I've said that you disagree with? If you're going to take a shot at me, give me a fair chance to answer your criticism.

 

I didn't think they seemed that loud. Maybe if it was revved up in my driveway at 8am or something, but otherwise they didn't seem that bad to me.

 

Why would a tech inspector kick you out? Its about the same in my mind as having down turn tips!

 

HOLD the TRAIN Av8...
that wasnt a shot at you, its bleeds sarcasim...

I think I understand what your saying Av8... But I wish you would just say it in plain english so I really knew what you were getting at. You think it would reflect badly to other hamb members? I feel like you speaking to me in some unknown hot rodders code.



Tballs ribbed me about copying bleed in building these headers... (I know it was a rib and hes just getting me to think etc )
I asked if there were pics of more of them BECAUSE I like them, they rock, they sound ***s and its not b/c bleed it running them.

I expected to hear some **** like that.

I could build zoomies...
yeah its been done right. IF I build zoomies the way I want I might get accused of copying the SHIFTERS... haha

Everyone takes cues from everyone else... when my car is done it wont look like freds car, or Mikes car or joe blows car... it'll be MY CAR.

I take influences from things I LIKE... I dont do them because everyone else thinks theyre cool... I DONT CARE. I've wanted a HOT ROD since I can remember...

60's Metalflake showcar with or without piss off headers wether you like it or not I know this car will RULE.

I can see it taking shape in my head and in the garage as the parts pile up and in my hands as i prep stuff for chrome, maybe its time to do a concept drawing...

I'm building this car MYSELF with the help of HAMBERS I dont expect you all to get it... this just makes me want it done that much more...

but I realize that without the HAMB this wouldnt be happening at this point in my life. I built my body shop with the help of friends, NO DAD there to help me along... I paid for it... same with my first car my shoebox at age 15 that im still ****ing up.

So I thank you for all the input and help along the way... but I sit here staring at this post thinking wtf is the big deal?

Tuck

 

Here's the ones on my A . I started with Speedway fenderwells, but cut the short colletors off & added some longer ones & a 45 deg. I put baffles in there also. It's not that loud.
Later, Mark

 

AV8 the green roadster in the top picture is mine. I wasn't taking a shot at you, I was kidding around.

I felt as though your statements were taking a shot at ME.

I have a lot of respect for you and thought I should explain the pipes on that car.

You are right, they are piss off pipes.

I'm just a punk anyway so they proably suit me well.

I was trying to say that I like those pipes, cause they are part of the car. They have been on that car for 35 years!

They make absolutly no sense, and surve no purpose other than to look cool. BUT they are a work of art from a long time ago.

Some people love em others don't. That's fine with me.

 

some people like them, some people hate them

and for some reason... alot of people like them because alot of people hate them


sounded fckn awsome at BTT50s

 

I DONT GET IT...
How can a Fenderwell Header be a Fenderwell header on a Fenderless car??

 

Tuck -- What is it that you can't picture or understand about down-turn exhaust outlets? I'm guessing you've not been a dragracer, otherwise you'd have understood my concerns right away.

Some of us old guys have been involved with and playing this game since we were in our teens. I don't think that's really relevant to your way of thinking, however, so I'm going to sign off at this point and let you have this thread and all your ideas about what's important to you.

 

maybe i should have asked how many people DONT GET IT instead of asking for pictures of FENDERWELL HEADERS.

AV8, ok... I will state that im wanting the headers for the aesthetics of them rather than the function that should clear up the confusion in this post. I should've said that in the begining.

Your advice is dually noted...
I was not trying to start a stink post on the hamb. I just wanted some pictures for inspiration.

Regards~

 

Uhh, Did I piss you off Tuck?

 

im so pissed off right now... haha NO im not.

really dude, i was just looking for some pics in this post. got any?

 

Allright man, just checking.
