White Devil 31 Coupe Build

Ya Bobs headers were custom made some 40 years ago...

 

hey evel, are they the same headers that were on the other motor? i mean, wasnt it olds or nailhead powered at some point with those headers?

 

if your going to get them coated J&D performance coatings in callahan does good work! they have lots of cool hotrods around the shop too.its a cool place just to stop and look at all the stuff they have and he is on the hamb too.

 

Speedway sells em already coated for under $200.

 

Looks real good in there. That thing is kick ass. I may have said that a couple of time already

 

Thanks everyone...Im still up in KS...finished up all the funeral stuff and Ill be heading back to the beach tommorow. Im glad everyone likes the new headers...Its just like everything else (personal pref) but I really like them. Now Im looking at how I am going to baffle them (car chemistry has a 7 inch baffle that I may alter and try to fit) well see but thanks again to everyone!!!

 

The headers do look good - did you say what they are actually for? Are they fenderwell headers? I'd really consider going ahead and running pipes under the car and out the back. I toughed it out with baffled headers for a while. It was much more sane when I added the rest of the exhaust. Its still really loud too - its just more sane out the back. Makes trips over an hour a little more tolerable. Just my two cents

 

As you can tell by my post count, I'm new here, but just found this thread. Great job so far! I'll keep subscribed to this for sure.

 

They are 35-48 ford fenderwell headers....we just got back into jax beach! Feels good to be back home!

 

Rock em' with the baffels, see how you like it! Gota give it a go... you can always add the rest of the exhaust later, if you can't stand it.

 

I ordered my new 3" inch diameter/10'' long collectors and the 3 ring 7" baffles for both headers. Nothing better than cutting up a brand new set of headers...Im not to fond of the lower part of the fenderwell headers and now they will be baffle compatible! Cant wait for them to get here!!!

 

Still waiting for my stuff to come in....getting excited to cut up some brand new headers!!!! Im sick.....

 

It take a real man to chop up something new to make it better man, I'd do it in a heart beat, yup, sick in a good kinda way.

 

Hey Devil I've been watching your build closely and all I could say is nice job keep up the good work. I need to get back in the garage. The headders look bitchen. Danny

 

those are what i need where did you get them???

 

Are they here yet?

 

Yeah they are here. Family in town for christmas but I got out to the garage for about 30 min to start on my headers. I cut the old collector off and started working on my new 3'' collectors. Heres a pic still dont know what angle Im going to go with just have them lightly tacked on but it will give you an idea of the look. I hated the old collector and I have the 3 disk 7'' collector inserts to dim the sound down a little.....

 

Looks good man.

 

Pretty far along on one header...crazy how much work goes into them....

 

Didnt like how it was looking so cut the header up again.....its the little details.....Its getting to the point that I need some inspiration!!!! I feel like I havent got much done lately at all...between an early christmas, moving, being sick and working!

 

Break out a mad fab dvd for some inspiration.

 

Here, maybe this will give ya some moto-vation

scoll down a little bit and turn up your sound real loud

 

I have watched all my mad fabs over and over and over....grits that does help "sounds HEALTHY!!!!" by the way....I dont know whats come over me just too much going on lately I guess

 

Happens to all of us, take some time just for yourself, go see a movie, have some ice cream, chase momma around the house you know, something different.

 

I know how you feel man, I'm trying to get it done in time for the show but everyday something else slows me down. If you want some inspiration, go to Dons museum. That's what I do. Good luck.

 

Hey Isaac, where you been man, I need a fix.
What's the latest thing with the coupe, finished those pipes yet?

 

Its been slooooooow mo right now....I might need you to fly down and finish mine up as fast as you did yours!

 

No need to rush man! that rushing stuff is just for the TV drama. I rebuilt my 1st set of headers too. TAKE YOUR TIME!!!!!

 

It makes me SICK to say it.....but the whitedevil coupe is UP FOR SALE!!!!! Im having no time to work on it with my little man and with the new house and workin and everything I just have no time for a project this deep....not getting out of the car scene im just getting into something a little more family friendly......

Sad to hear you're selling the car after you've put in so much hard work.Been in the same position myself,more than once!
What you won't loose are the skills and knowledge you've gained on this build to use on the next one.
Hope it all works out O.K.,Isaac,
