header install help needed near Bloomington Hey guys, I am about to order ceramic coated Hooker LTs and I'd really like some help installing these. I know it would be best to have a lift, but really I just would like someone who has done these before to be around to give some pointers etc....I'll bring the beers! I have a buddy who works at a Pontiac dealership, he may be able to get us in to use his lift and super expensive, nice clean tools!

Marc, I was gonna talk to you about it, but I figured you'd be a little tied up with your new motor and stuff. I talked to one of the mechanics at work and we could use his lift and tools on a friday night, that way if for some reason we couldn't get it done that night we wouldn't stop him from working on a customer's car because they are closed saturdays.

It shouldn't be a problem to find some help locally. A lift isn't really a necessity...I had mine installed in about 3 hours working off a floor jack with a 6X6 by myself. Let us know when they come in, we'll get you taken care of.

Let me know when and where you'll be.

ok, i said i would post up too if i needed help w/ headers, and unfortunately i do. I dont know what my friend is doing who was supposed to help me, but i cant get ahold of him. Anyways, i really dont know how to do any of it myself. Ill be able to pay someone a little bit for the help, but just dont have $400 to blow to get a shop to do it. All i need done is the headers on, thats it. i will run open headers until i get FC Customs to weld my dual cutouts into my ORY.
Any help appreciated. I need it done like this week cuz i still gotta take it to FC and college is only a couple weeks away...
