    Thanks for the complement. Some credit goes to my trusty Pro-Tool hand tubing bender :thumbs2:

    I built 5 oval track stock cars with that bender but this is the first street car that I am doing. It's a little more difficult.

    LOL! I used to have some headers like that in a 66 351C powered Mustang. It was a lot of fun. Are those made for a Mustang?

    Actually they were listed in the Tubular catalog as fitting a Maverick. After 2 of the pipes refused to fit where they were supposed to, I called Tubular and he sounded like he already had a pre-packed box of various mandrel bent pieces that fix the problem and that is what he mailed to me. His claim was that these headers were originally designed to fit a 1964 Falcon engine bay and my complaint was nothing new to him. For the life of me, I could never figure why he added the Maverick application without any kind of a re-design. A 64 Falcon & a Maverick may look similar but are 2 different engine bays.:huh:
