Completed Mockup headers
here are the headers tacked up and pretty darn close! We will likely add some tube length to move the collectors a few inches back. The plan is to enquire about a nice set of fancy shiney Headers from a custom header place. Here are patterns. We wilol weld these up for another project.

Study the pics with the inner fenders in place for a better understanding
