Those "Jardene" Headers are a work of art! Very nice!

[65COMET]

Ken;WOW,what a difference in header design,looks like Jardine still has the touch!!!!! I hear you on the family stuff,been through a lot already this year,still more to come!I have not had my Comet out since the March Meet,had to miss a couple of races,but as you know,family comes first! Barring any problems,I'm headed to Vegas for the NHRA,Heritage race over Memorial Day Weekend. ROY.

Out in the dunes at Glamis with that beast would be NIRVANA!!!!. Then, take the Rocket over to the sand drags, equipped with paddles, and whoop some arse!!!!!! Oh yea.....

Speaking of interesting Comets, this is the best looking '63 I've ever seen.

Unfortunately, or maybe I should say fortunately, the price range is bigger than my wallet.

Congrats to you Dale it must feel pretty good, all the hard work and dollars getting paid back!

Ken,thats a drastic difference in headers, they should help you out considerably in the power department and ease of installation too! I imagine they install one tube at a time? Al

Finally got some time to put the headers on and see for myself, Three hours later , All the room I had for my hands now have big ass tubes in the way, I dont know how Jerry did it. They sure look Cool. A little low, Now a little worried about those wheel stands.

2 1/8 th primarys stepped to 2 1/4 into 3 1/2 collector. All Equal length and set up according to the Firing order.

Hats off to Jerry, He Personally did this set for me. Amazing in his seventies and still has the passion. Awesome. They did set up a jig to reproduce these for other Comet Guys

Any way heres the pics
































I'm not sure about that Diaper idea ? I dont see How

[SOHC427]

Wow, nothing but WOW!

[TunnelBolt]

Headers look great! Now that FE can breath!

[65COMET]

Ken;wheelstands should not be an issue unless you stand it on the bumper and freak out and lift[ask me how I know]!!!!!You have more room for a diaper than I do!!!!!! ROY.

Making sure you guys saw this. 9500.00 http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...d.php?t=690322 Not mine just saw it cruising classifieds....JOHN

[65COMET]

John;saw that 64 over on e-pay,he has a lot of nice parts that go with the car!Looks to be a solid foundation for whatever someone wants to build!! ROY.

That cars location is not all too for for me to checkout for someone who might be seriously considering.I know several car people who live on the island also.

Ken, are those Jardines considered a 180 degree header?

[teddisnoke]

Some more pics to keep the thread strong:

[mercuryjunky]

Jerry said If I wanted to repaint the car I could paint it like this one , Hmmm I do like it and I can keep my teardrop hood.





Winter Repaint ?

[Smirnoff]

Thanks for posting all the photos of your custom Jardine headers -- glad to see Jerry is doing well & still creating magic!

Question: Why only 1 pipe on the cross-over, instead of 2 to maximize scavenging?

[ec164]

Ken,
The headers look even better installed!! You have great ground clearence too! The experience and skill they have really shows in the workmanship. Al

[65COMET]

Ken;it is YOUR Comet,but the Sox and Martin paint scheme is beautiful and so well done!!!Doing it like the all white Jardine Headers car would be cool but did it stay all white?Does anyone remember it?Do we need another all white 64?I think you should build a white 64 Chrisman Comet Clone,blown injected cammer powered and freak everyone out!!!!!!! High gear only,full quarter mile burnouts,YEE HAW!!!!!! ROY.

[Mr. Squirrel]

Your welcome Eric. Just truly happy to find a loving home for that orphan. Maybe you can show me around your area when your finished with it

[JunkYardFrog]

Less than 24 hours to go on this '65. It's too far away for me to buy.
