Re: The Hawaiian Blue 1978 GMC.

Hunter's 1978 GMC Build

It's been just a bit since I've updated last. Combination of lazy and a phone cord so sensitive that if I took a breath across the house it'd stop transferring files kind of prevented me from updating.

Anyway, let's skip back 3 months! About immediately after the last post I got a set of stainless eBay headers using one of those eBay discount codes. (If you have the app they sometimes have coupons to use on ANYTHING for like 20% off.) I think I paid $60.00 for them and they shipped out of California pretty quick.

Long story short, they didn't fit. Didn't clear the starter, didn't clear the frame rails. I let my dad beat the hell out of them. If anyone wants them to try, come get'm. The welds and finish on them was great, truthfully. They just didn't fit.

One day wasted... beating on the headers.







You can see here where I had clearance issues. I actually ended up getting a mini starter because of these things. Anyway, treading on...



One bashed header.



Two bashed headers.




Looked pretty, though!
