      GMC427 I'm not sure what you need pics of can you explain a little more and I will get you the pics.

      Ryeguy building the headers was pretty easy with the Icengineworks modeling system and I made my owen jig to cut the bends. I ordered right from them so I only got the blocks I needed. I used 3" CLR U bends so I ordered 50 3" CLR 2" bend blocks and 70 straight blocks if I was to order again get 50/50 split. I got my tubing from Race Mufflers.com. It took 17 2 1/4" U bends to build the headers and I didn't waste any. The U bends have enough strait tubing so didn't need to order any.

      Thanks TA. This is the first time going to depth of body work. I want the car to be slick with no chrome. Got the wheels ordered up from Boze and they should be here in 4 weeks. Ordered the Chicane wheels in brushed.

      GMC I went with 18x8 in the front and 19x11 in the rear both with a 5” back spacing. Cooper tires 245 40 18 and 325 30 19.
