Love the car Dicky and the detail work on things like the wired header bolts.
I have to ask...who came up with the idea of that support plate for the back of the headers. I have a set of these as well and just installed them on my run stand today. I know they are heavy and thought that was a good idea for the rear hanger to relieve stress on the header bolts. Tell me more please?

Header Support
Hi Norcam, the idea was one that "my" fabricator came up with. It attaches to the two inside bolts of the collectors. (MT headers had a 4 bolt collector not 3) and then it attaches to the bottom of the transmission mount. I must admit it is slick as S**T and does not hang below the tubing for ground clearance. When everything (the header tubes) was welded together, I sent it with the headers to be powder coated as well. (only black) LOL
 This guy who built the Vega for me.
