Default Custom headers

It looks like I'm going to need some new headers before the spring meet. Anyone know a good shop to have some custom headers made?

Thanks,
Rick

GP Headers, Barnesville, MN, does custom headers. They did the headers for my Factory Five. They did not need the car as they have done a FFR in the past, they fit perfect.
See if anyone has done custom headers for a Lone Star Classics. It could save time and money.

I'd give Scott McMillan a ring over in Fort Worth 817-551-3867
He does excellent fabrication.
I'll be using him soon as well for mufflers replacement.

Thanks for the replies. I'll give scott a call.
I already called GP headers. They need 6 weeks + to do the job.
I'd like to get this done before the spring meet.

I can't use off the shelf cobra headers. I have the Trickflow highport heads, which are a different flange location than stock.

Rick,
Bevis Racecraft in Tyler, Tx. Built a really nice set for me. You'll have to talk to him about the time frame though. The number is 903-343-7669

Thumbs up

Brad's Fab in Saginaw does excellent work and used to manufacture headers and side pipes for Lone Star. 817.232.0088.

Brad's Fab made my new mandrel bent 2" nested primaries. I ordered the other components from Howe Racing and Rob Camp at Definitive Motorsports fit everything together on my car.
I used Specialized Performance Coatings in Arlington for the ceramic under coating and satin black outer.

Thanks for all the replies.
I have quotes anywhere from $1k to $4500, but none of them can do it within a month.
I think I'll just practice my tig welding some more and make a set for myself after the spring meet.
