Help with headers install!!
Does anyone know of someone that can install some shorty chrome headers (hugger type) on my 76, 350 SB? Or can anyone assist me in doing it? It will involve welding and I don't know how to weld. 
The headers will connect to a short 90 degree pipe then to the cat and then the side pipes. I have two cats and the setup is the same on both sides.
I live in Yorktown, VA (SE Virginia) and would appreciate any help I can get ASAP as I am hoping to have them on in time for Corvettes at Carlilse (25-28 Aug).
I have tried the local muffler shops and no one wll do it. If you can help, email me at villardk@gmail.com.

They will weld up everything for you after you install the headers. In the past, if you call before you go and tell them you are on the way, you can sometimes get away with driving the car with open headers to have it welded.

The Mrs. has to work Thursday night, so we won't be leaving until Friday AM.
Should get there in time for the dinner at Red Robin!
