Hey bud,

I am on the last phase of mine, misc parts to go back on and such. I have taken a ton of pictures and wrote down all kinds of stuff. I'll be more than happy to get them up on my webpage for you view. I got all kinds of help here on the boards, and am more than happy to give some back to someone who might need it. Shoot me a PM for the link. I'd also like to put a write up on the boards here -moderator permitting.

by the way, take those shitty *** clamps and use them for x-mas decor, they suck if you need to take anything apart

here are the pics

btw, i did NOT have to cut the casting tab or undo the steering. the passenger side slid right up and the drivers did with some wiggling. these headers fit great. i now just have to adjust my y pipe and get some more band clamps.

and you do not have to have the car as high as everyone says. i used a floor jack with a 2X6 and it was plenty high enough.
