    My buddy Mike & I got this done, and with the help of Frank it went very smooth!!!

    A little tightening, and she's good to go!!! and the Thorley headers fit like a glove, I've never used headers that were made for a Maverick before, there was no yelling, crying, skinned nuckels, Thanks Jamie!!

    Thanks Guys!! Here's a shot of the headers, I'm impressed with these, I've built a few cars over the years, and have never had a set of headers this easy to install, there even dimpled enough that you can get a ratchet wrench on the bolts!
