Thanks Herb! sucks we haven't been able to meet up since you've moved down here. I'd definitely take you up on that offer, I just never know when I get to work on it. it's usually last minute or LATE at night. You still have the 631 number?

That air compressor thing had me lol'in, I couldn't believe it.
Kudos to you sir! Love it
Do you have an idea on the total time duration and dollar spent on this project?

Thanks man, I appreciate it. The original and current headers were mig'd with a Miller 140 autoset, running off 110/115v. There were a Jeg's universal header kit, 1 5/8 aluminized steel.
Air compressor scared the shit out of me when it happened and pissed me off as I was in the f'n middle of my final base coat pass. no I look back and laugh.
I don't really know on the number of hours, but I might have to guess over 500 since starting the swap. i haven't tallied my receipts in a while, but at one point it was close to $15k for parts, tools, materials, etc. probably much more than that now. I'd guess about $30-40k if a shop would have done the work.
