F@#& E-bay headers!
As much as I like fabbing things, I would never attempt a set of headers unless I had a totally stripped down car and a ton of time. I did my own true duals but I will consider that to be much easier and less PITA than headers. I am sure most would agree.
Those headers look outstanding and you likely improved the clearance areas that most of us see around #1, #8, steering shaft and right side collector areas. They will likely perform as well as anything, any of us have. I commend you on a job well done.

I built them in my Garage at home. I spent about $400 in parts and over 50 hours. This is my first set I ever did. I have built a set for a chassis car also now. BUT this is not some thing I would do on a regular basis. As far as Turbo's? They were not in the budget so I will have to just run 8s on juice instead.

Thank you every one for the nice words. it is a long road to get where I want to go and all I can do is take one step at a time
Nice work, Ellis. Not something most would tackle, but the results speak for themselves....perhaps you could sell your prototypes to a fabricator and have a jig made so that they could be reproduced at a reasonable price (?)
