You can do all of that your self with hand tools and a floor jack.
I don't think I can take on a project like that and would rather give it to a reliable shop to do the work. I imagine it will cost. I read some of the horror posts during header installs where guys are struggling for days because of k-member / steering shaft clearance or the damn Y pipe is not cooperating. Some of them may be idiots but it is an undertaking that I am not willing to go alone.

The FTRA that I installed a few weeks ago gave me fits because it didn't quite line up and I thought I was going to freakout. Well it was slightly tweaked after some help from this site and it is good to go. I could only imagine what a few setbacks during a header install would do to me.
I guess if I have been through a header install then I might be able to pull it off. I don't like surprises.

Its not bass pro shops worthy yet. I need to clean it up and fix a few things on it. If we're not racing this weekend, I may drive my dirty black truck again. Going on 3 weeks and still havent had a chance to clean it up like I need to.
