Default Re: Doug Thurley Headers

Jeff;
Yes, I have seen it done at Vette-Fest, 1point for the coating and 1point for having Hooker Headers instead of the Thorleys.

Personally, I have the manifolds and smog system installed, but want the headers for certain shows. It is pretty tough to document that headers (or Atlas wheels) came on any of the deuces, we don't know of any. However, the judges at vette-fest and AACA allow them, so I bought some.

I'm sure the orig. headers lost their paint pretty quickly, and 'rusty' headers might be correct for a survivor car. A full resto car should look like it did on day one (or day two), and should not have old looking headers. Therefore, use today's technology to make them look like they did back in the day.
