I worked all day and finished fabricating the drivers side header. It turned out very well and fits the car perfectly! All of the joints must fit very close so that the joints are easy to weld. It is a tedious process taking the tubes on and off. File the joint, put it on, mark the places that need to be ground, take it off, file, put back on............... You get the point.
You will notice one of the header tubes has a dog leg shape to it. That is so the header clears the left front tire when it is turned all the way to the left. You don't want the front tire touching a 1000 degree header when you turn off of the track!
One I ge the other side done, I will clean all of the joints very well and will permanently weld every joint. They are jus tack welded for now to make sure everything fits.
Once everything is welded, I will polish the stainless steel to a chrome like shine.
