    And what will our lucky winners take home with them?

    First Place: A Baileigh BB-4816M Magnetic Box and Pan Brake (available in 4,6, and 8-foot lengths), a shop banner, and free shipping to the lower 48. If you aren’t familiar with the new magnetic brake from Baileigh, I suggest you check out this video and this thread for real world usage. It will bend much more than just my pinky… and do it in ways you never thought possible.

    Second Place: A fully welded set of Chevy Small Block Lake Headers from Gear Drive.

    Third Place: A “you weld it” Chevy Small Block Lake Header kit from Gear Drive.

    ..........

    So... What are ya waiting for? Get your VOTE on!

    I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the great articles. I also wanted to say thanks to those who have voted on mine. I figured it would come in last just because it was not actually a car related subject. I am glad to see some have still voted on it.

    Thanks everyone.

    I had a hard time picking one as well but felt that the home-made quick-change was my favorite out of them all..

    I went for the tail light housings. I just love a good hammer form. Modern axles in a banjo was a close second! Good work everyone!
