been slow going for a while. worked in new mexico, iowa, new mexico again and last time georgia. got my 5803 hooker supercomps and began the work again. as i've posted before, i always cut off the bars on the flange, between the tubes. this allows more room for working them, allows you some flexibility to make wrapping them easier, and makes installing easier, since you can work on a port at a time.

here's headers during removal of excess flange material and using a sanding wheel to smooth out the port faces:

headers finished wrapping, and coated with silicone high temp paint. helps seal the wrap to keep out oil and water, and also helps reduce temps:
