The headers as they looked when the customer dropped them off. Solid headers but 40+ years of use have hurt them aesthetics wise.

These headers didn't offer the incredible transformation as other items after media blasting them but still gave us a fresh surface to apply the coating to.

The finished product offers great looks and performance versus their original appearance. Ready to be put onto the customers incredibly restored classic car.
