Another minor update.

Last set of headers I built I started with "U" and "J" bends. This set, I had an epiphany and thought I'd start with a pre-bent set and see how that works out. Either way there's substantial fabwork involved, but I thought it was worth a shot. So, here goes the passenger side while I ponder steering columns and such on the driver's side. FYI 1-3/4" with 3" collectors, planning to have cutouts right behind the H-pipe.

As you can tell, no where close. Yet.

More later-
