NOS Kustom Headers (Flint, MI), 55-57 Chevy
Here is a mint set of NOS Kustom headers, pre-1970 based on the numbering system. Calling these hard to find would be an understatement. Great look for a period correct hot rod, Junior Stocker, or whatever else you're building that deserves original 1960s speed parts. $550, free delivery to MCACN.

I'm pretty sure the original building still stands on Richfield Rd.

I think this is it: Southwest corner of Richfield and Belsay Rds.
The headers they offered for '65/66/67 GTOs were patterned after the ones on our car. K

That’s it!
Boy would I love to find a set of Kustom headers for my 67 GTO. I have the next best thing, a set of NOS JR headers, but I’m not sure they will work with my power steering. That will have to be one of my winter projects…. |

Still available - I'll listen to a good offer. At the risk of stating the obvious, this is probably the only opportunity you'll get to have a NOS set of Kustom headers for your '55-57. I know I'd be keeping them if I had one of these to build.

50 years ago, I spent many hours and many dollars in that building. I would save money for months to buy my parts from them, although I had a"line of credit" with them. I still live about two miles from there. Seen a LOT of nice stuff go through that building in all the time Kustom was there.

All summer I'd ride around with him while he ran his errands: over to city hall to pay the water bill, then over to Consumer's to pay the electric bill. Those rides would usually include a stop at Kustom, or "Automotive Parts & Machine Shop" on Davison Rd, or General Bolt, or Richfield Iron Works, either to check the progress on something or pick up additional parts. (Maybe if I was lucky a stop at the A&W on Richfield Road!). Right before I retired I was making the rounds, visiting my suppliers and was shooting the bull with one of the secretaries. It hit me at that point: "oh my gosh - I've morphed into my Dad!!". K

This little house was on Thom Street, between Averill and Leith.
Dad built that garage himself. K
