first header build
finally started a header build after having the car for 10 years and parts for 3. kept waiting for everything to be right, tig, bandsaw, etc. finally just started with what i had. OA setup and chopsaw and I am happy so far. it is a 69 chevelle with 500ci Cadillac so nothing can really be bought
Note:they are no where near equal length, don't judge me on the flame valve covers

Good job. Don't Worry about equal length, on a street car it is over rated and in fact unequal lengths (with in reason) can actually widen the power band of the motor - and this is what I do for a living!
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming 'WOW What a Ride!'

You did well. It is a lot more work to make headers than people think. I just finished fabbing a set of equal length stepped headers with individual flanges for my 70 Mustang. When you have something unique there is no other option...
