Re: '55Chevylover's 55stepside build up

Looks like those hedders are good quality items. I like those thick flange ones as they are less prone to leaking. They aren't very tarnished yet. Too bad that has to happen, but it does add to the character of the chrome. Do you wear ear plugs when you fire it up?

No I don't, but I really should. Every time I run it I have to leave the garage because it is so loud.

The hedders are stainless and now that I have run it a few times, they have turned yellow and purple in some places. I really wanted ceramic coated but I got these at a steal. At least I have hedders now. I can always replace them later.
