Ya welding was soooooo Strong(http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/rofls.gif) (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/shame.gif) And I liked the thinking behind the quick release tow ball nuts

I want a set of headers made for the '58 eventually . . . If I supplied you with the stock manifolds - could you mimick them or would you need the car, itself, as well ?

Roadkill mate....

If you can buy them off the shelf DO SO(http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/up.gif) it will be cheaper than me making them..(http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/wink.gif)

Best thing to do if you do want to make them.... I'll get the Flange's Plasma Cut on me new CNC plasma Machine and then I can supply you with a bag of bends for you to weld up.

It does have to be done on the car!!! to keep everything straight!!!
