vintagedragfan Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 ok John here ya go, got them finished up thanks for the interest! back to the bench now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Colmer Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 That is some skilled work on those headers. They are stunning. Fenderwell headers as soooo cool. It look like the engine is a monster crouching under the hood and bursting out the sides. I don't work on real cars much... Is it OK to have the master cylinder so close to the headers? Looking forward to more progress on the cuda. Another jewel! Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob McKee Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 A work of art that should be put in a museum when completed Bill. The GTX is looking great as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott I appreciate the kind words Scott, I agree, I love fender well headers! and it will have a heat shield around the master cylinder before it is ever fired, thanks for the interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made one when I was putting mine together. Hosted on Fotki hey John, thanks so much bro, he is sending them off soon to get a white ceramic coat for the old school look, and it will have a heat shield around the master cylinder, just haven't made it yet, it's not as close as it appears in the pic, still a lot to do before it's ready for the road. thanks again for the interest!!

FASTBACK340 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Looks like within the next month or so I'll be cleaning off the workbench. Hopoefully all the great started projects will continue, aside from my attempts. I know how hard it is to build in scale during the summer months when the full-sized one is more fun.
