Welcome to the forums. I have been messing around with fabricating headers for the past month. I have been using these things made by hooker headers, it holds the tubing together and it also doesn't allow anything to get inside the tube as your welding

its in the front, he is running an I beam axle, look at the edge and you king see the steering knuckles, king pin etc. The reasosn it looks like its the rear of the car is because of the red pan hard bar that's going in front of the axle. (optical illusion) I had to take a double take myself

the class I will run in dose not pay this just for fun I'm not going turn this motor to hard its a stocker with 160000 miles just a 4 barrel and an rv cam. But I'm going to get another motor to bore and do port work big valves put my big soild lifter stick in. 320 deg .650 lift 110 centerline now that motor will need a blow proof bell housing. I tell my buddys that this a budget race car and there is no budget. My buddys have are father and son they have 40 2 door sedan and 46coupe both with flatheads and quick changes. They have a way bigger budget than I do. I will work on getting some better pictures this weekend I will be putting the cage in the car I have all ready started on it
