Wow! headers look great. one question though, did you just butt weld the joints? I have an expandable piece, (Can't say what it was originally designed for) but I take a tapered pin and just drive it in a to expand the outer edge and it slips over the other pipe 1/8" to 1/4" before I weld them. this prevents any weld from being inside the pipe and restrictinging any flow, works super.

Been a little under the weather the last couple of days and working hard to get Elwood ready for Eagle Field but we did manage to get the header for the other side done and a scatter shield made. Still waiting on tubing for the cage but I'm told it's on the way. 
For those who want to know the primaries (1 3/4") came out 25 - 29" and I will be running 18" extentions on the 3" collectors. bla bla bla

Finally got the tubing on Friday! We were waiting for 1 5/8" .134" wall mild steel for the last three weeks, found out that is was quite literally on slow boat from China. By last Tues. we had had enough and looked around at different suppliers, The short story is we found another place that sold us .095" wall chromoly for $.25 more a foot than the other stuff and it's made in the USA.  Wish we would have went to this place first.  Oh well we have got a cage started now and with a little work there should be something to show the tech guys at El Mirage in two weeks.      bla bla bla

That looks like a tight squeeze to get in.

That looks like a tight squeeze to get in.Trust me, it will be.  They like you to be snug. The steering wheel comes off and gives you a little more room, ask Charlie, the "Brick" wasn't the easiest thing to get in and out of.

It was if you have a left leg that doesn't bend too much.
