Thanks Man! I went thru my build last night looking for headers people had suggested. Post upome pics that would be great.

Lesson learned,
1. fabricate
2. assemble complete vehicle
3. fix mistakes
4. disassemble completely
5. then paint
6. final assembly
I'm just demonstrating the importance of pre fitting.
