1. Return those headers and spring for a set of Hooker Super Comps. They are indeed expensive, but are great headers and fit perfectly. (It's what I have on my '63)

2. You could order a shock tower clearance kit from http://www.critesrestoration.com/litening.htm for $100. You cut into the shock towers and weld plates in place, giving more clearance to the exhaust system.

Judging by the way the Super Comps are bent all around to be able to fit, you would have to have either a really small tube diameter or a whole lotta bends for a shorty to fit well. But I would vote the Hookers.

So he calls Summit and explains the deal, They sell him the hookers at a $70 discounted price and tell him to send back the shorties (Which he had powder coated) and they would give him a full refund. I think all his parts in the future will be through Summit

[Wow, good for Summit, i love happy endings & usually in these situation the ending gets ugly, great promo for Summit, i hope he sends them a nice thanks letter

They fit like a dream and are incredible to look at, talk about some awesome bends. THEY ARE SO COOL.

We won't ever buy another set of Hedman Headers - Hookers Rule.

we dont have a 1/4 mile strip on vancouver island(nearest one is mission) so 4 years ago we convinced the regional district(which also controls the airport) to allow us to hold a 2 day drag race on a weekend in the middle of august. our fisrt race was put togeather with less that a months notice(thats when we got the okay) and we had 120+ cars and 2500 spectators. it has grown over the last few years and last year, our 3rd race, we had 240 cars(roughly spread in 3 classes)and over 8000 spectators!.a lot of the cars were semi proffessional running in the 10 sec range.the fastest car ran around 7.60 at over 200.every year we've done some improvements to the airport(keep your landlord happy!),this year we built a 700 car dirt parking lot, next year a new burnout box access.all this is done with volunteer labour!
keep in mind that our town has a population of about 19,000 and is in the middle of nowhere.
anyways, enough patting ourselves on the back but it does go to show you that a dedicated group of people can do some good things.oh, we are now working towards our own motorsport park with 5-7 years being our goal!
