Sharp looking Chevy.  I'm looking for headers like those...can you tell me where you got them or what they're from.

[Classic Plastic]

Thanks for the comments guys!

Mike-I scratch built them from a couple different sizes of Evergreen tube.

[TransAmMike]

Well they look great.  Don't supposed you took a picture of them before you put them on the car huh?

[Classic Plastic]

Mike- Sorry, I did not. I do have some pix of similar headers from some Demo-Derby Cars. Hope this helps. Evergreen hollow tube, etc. available on a popular auction site. Look for assortment pack (#217).
