1965 Chevy Pickup & Hemi Hydro combo

Next up was the part I've been dreading, the horrible headers! I got them cleaned up as best I could, and installed the equally bad flared ends.



A few close-ups of the ends, not perfect, but 1000% better than when I started for sure!

Next, I drilled the header flanges for some 26 gauge beading wire to make it easier to paint them, and easier to install on the heads when the time comes!



Some Metalizer Stainless Steel was sprayed...and they don't look as bad as I thought they would!

And the last update for tonight. the trailer now has it's leaf springs and ultra heavy duty wire axle installed!

Wow, this thing is coming along great, and fast. Wish I could spend a quarter of that time building, I might actually finish something.

The headers don't look so bad, your cleaning the flanges seemed to work wonders. Did you see Wayne's tutorial on custom headers? I was just wondering if that would have helped you any in recreating them to look more like you wanted. I think they look pretty good, myself, though.

The trailer is looking pretty sweet. The color is nice, very realistic to the ones I see around here. (And I see a lot)

Very good build.

Trust me, I'm not building that fast, this one is just further along than you know at the moment. I would have made some solder headers for this, but since they go up instead of down, I was worried gravity might become an issue in the future. And I've been using the GM Ultra Silver a lot lately, it makes a great base coat for thin or transparent colors!
