I've always been just the opposite,Dan. Have always liked lowered cars. Lowered cars tend to handle better and will have better fuel mileage due to less aerodynamic drag from the undercarriage. The only reason I jacked up the rear of some of my old cars was because I couldn't get wheels with the correct backspacing,like you can now. Different strokes for different folks,though,,,, Clint Hooper H&H Custom,owner 1969 El Camino ProTourer 2001 H-D FLHR custom bagger http://dalesplace.com/misc/friends/clint/clint_hooper.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: Dan Mascheck   I’m also a bit anti low body style. I can remember way back in the 60’s we wanted the front end jacked up, transferring some of the weight to the rear wheels. It wasn’t worth a damn driving on a windy day down the freeway. But looked cool! Then we went with the ass end up in the air to help eliminate wheelies(SURE).   My car has a new SS gas tank from Rick’s with a deep sump. The tank rides a bit low on the 72 plus I asked them to make it a bit bigger for extra gas. Plus..I kind of like the rear up a bit. I sure get people stopping by, wherever I park in Houston or Wharton. Seem like everyone wants the Chip Foose or Coddington look .Fine by me, I just want to do something a bit upstream and nostalgic! As my late Dad used to say, “If it’s yours do what you want with it ..just try not to embarrass me too much!(GRIN)     Dan Mascheck   Wharton, TX   From: Clint Hooper [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2005 5:07 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] stainless headers   Hooker does build excellent stuff but their A-body headers don't like lowered cars. The Stainless Works tubes tuck in pretty tight.

They sold me Hooker Super Comps for a great price and hat them coated and the difference is significant than buying them already coated. They do excellent work on their coating!!     Dan Mascheck   Wharton, TX   From: André-Tigergutt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi all,   have anyone tried headers from stainless works? I know Clint proposed them a while back but I have no more than that.   any other brand of stainless small block headers to consider??   thanks ! Have Fun André
