5 Must-Do Hacks for Building Headers: Finnegan's Garage Ep.130
Next week I'm going to finally make my 1967 Chevrolet C10 run and move under its own power. I'm bringing a couple of friends into the garage so that we can knock out a bunch of work to finish the truck. In the meantime, Newbern and I created a new pair of headers from scratch using a kit from Stainless Headers Mfr, a company we frequently order from. The parts are made of 304 stainless steel and feature mandrel-bent tubes, merge-collectors and lots of quality US-made parts.

We also once again relied on the Furick Markout Pro tool to precisely measure our tubing before we cut it.

Those amazing Chevy LT4 header flanges came from MRC Fabrication @mrcfabbullard
That crazy billet aluminum sequential gearbox came from www.6xdgearbox.com
Check back in next week for a bunch of new content as we make one big final push to get the C10 on the road. Thanks for watching!

The kings of "product placement"... Thank you.
Hey Mike, new audio is 10/10. Thank you for making the investment. Editing is great too. Thank you for that Christopher Read.
WTF???
@@callefalk4457 they're doing this all over YT comment sections. The other one I've seen is for a movie site. Also for crypto accountants. They'll go on about how they made $ with crypto and like 20 other fake accounts will chime in too and vouch for the broker. And all the account ts are usually 2-5 months old.
@@callefalk4457 hmmm. Magine that. Aarons and Kai were both created 1 month ago... just like all the other scammers I've seen.

look at all the pretty gray showing up in the hair. and the truck is looking grate.
Newbern comedy is the best comedy .
That fitment at the end.. I think everyone watching from home was saying to themselves, LIKEEEEE A GLOVEEEEEEE
The caddy?
Why’s your profile pic the associated press logo seems pretty libtard to me
Perfect timing, I just sat down for a morning bowl.
Filling a toilet bowl? Smoking a bowl? Bowl of cereal?
Fire it up bro
So did i
@@finnice , smoking a fat bowl before some coffee, need to get get the old gears grinding so I can knock out a few steel roses today.
@@escuelaviejafarms whats steel roses
The first and second primary tubes downward angle not being parallel or symmetrical with one another really gets at my OCD! Good thing their hidden by the frame rail and you can’t really notice it when the header is bolted up. Looks awesome.
There's something so satisfy about those last shots of you slipping the header into place! Knowing that you built that and there will be no question about fitment is a beautiful thing!
this is way better than the old finnegan & friburger show
Them headers are bad ass. Nice job
Honestly, Mike is the best wealth of knowledge about welding I've come across. I've never welded a day in my life but after watching Finnegan do his welding thing after Big Chief made fun of his work, it gives me the motivation to try.
The first tack on the second flange i could see the whole collector pulled to one side right after you said how much stainless moves!! 😆
And here I thought it was just my eyes playing tricks on me as the piece moved, glad I wasn't the only one who saw that.
Excellent Project.
Love the road trip content but love the fab/build stuff way more! The audio has gotten much much better... but still miss a step here and there. @Newbern, facial grooming is on point! Overall constant improvement, can't wait for the rest of this!
YES! Very cool guys. Thank you.
Good job Finn
Nice job Dave
You got a Boykin! We love our little brown pup. Best dogs ever.
Great job on the audio
Audio is so much better, thanks for that👍 This video makes me think I need better friends. To get your truck up and running in 5 days will be awesome. Look forward to the next one!
I just went through so many of your videos to find this one from 2 years ago because I wanted that tube marking tool. Then I saw it’s $1600 and decided to feed my family instead. I’ll revert to the Jerry rig practice of using my belt or something else as a wrap around to achieve the best results I can. I don’t know why I thought that tool would be cheaper.
Loving the new microphones. Audio is way better.
Awesome work there. Better and better. And, it is absolutely heartwarming to see... the RoadKill donkey overseeing production. Mascot and Luck Charm. Without that magical piece of art, none of this would be possible. Well, maybe.
Hell yeah those mufflers are the muscle truck specials he probably called David before he ordered them 😂. Can’t wait to hear “this is the music of my people!”
patiently came back for what felt like a years waiting for these weekly uploads of the c10. less gooooo
Van not wait to see the C10 going down the road and hear that fire up
I live in Arizona and am dreading summer but I can’t wait for you to get back to GAME OVER!!!! Love that boat.
HEY MIKE, GREETINGS FROM PERTH WESTERN AUSTRALIA MATEY. THE BUILD LOOKS FANTASTIC. GIVE US A SHOUT OUT SOMETIME MY FRIEND.
Wow, nice job
Far from being Roadkill. Great content.
I love seeing the picture of you and your son on the wall.
I need a workshop like this.....
So glad to see you finally putting a date on finishing your c10! Mines still sitting with separated tires. The struggle is real.
Cut out the most interesting part of actually finding the angles and fitting everything between the collector and flange. Thats the part i want to see and learn
Oh, so I'm wasting my time here
Most folks just here for the finished product. I'm with you though. Show us the fuckin maths!
Amazing what a person can build with unlimited budget
What's wrong with you? That has all shit tovdo with an unlimited budget.
Hi Mike, it was good to see Ray Charles didn't do any welding this time....haha :) Cheers from Australia :)
I think you should get together with Freiburger for the road trip, it would be nice see to him in the mix! Roadkill reunion?!
Watching your shows has revitalized my ambition to drag out my cars spend (Lots & Lots ) of quid on cool ass parts like new holley brawler and intake, headers and a bunch more stuff .... Love all your shows haha!
Been watching this channel from the start and i love it . Mr Newburn is a great guy,got lots of common sense ,a propa car guy. Best part of the team .Just keep him away from the gearbox on Blasphemi lol. All the best Danny uk 👍
Glad to finally see the push to get this truck done. Always been looking forward to it
Awesome video
So glad to see that you do a real exhaust system. So much more cool and classy at the same time. Ace!
That tubing jig you have to mark the angles is really nice!!
It’s too bad it’s $1800
Here we go C10 Here we go.
Oh btw Finnegan, congrats on the new pup.. just make sure it doesn't stare at the light from the welder and go blind.. It's mesmerizing to dogs for some reason. Also, you need to teach James (Cleetus' friend/coworker) how to make exhaust.. his Nova's exhaust... you just know it's about to break with him making hundreds of pie cuts and no back purging.
Great channel, awesome work and I really appreciate the effort you put into these, but if I hear someone explain back purging one more time I'm going to punch a hole through my computer screen!
I'm so hyped for this build
You can always use flexible turbo pipe, radiator tube, etc. to wrap around the exhaust so the spacing is more consistent. A rag works though.
Awesome job! And super excited that you finally got a good microphone - almost blew out my eardrums when the video started cuz I'm used to turning the volume up!
great vid boys... but ya might wana take the key outta tha chuck on the bench!!
Super Excited to see the c10 running and driving soon... its going to an epic video...been waiting years to see this fly boy truck in action...
I was waiting for a Ray Charles crack as you were finish welding.
Those headers are gorgeous. Great work, y'all!
There need be no comments about Ray Charles in this episode! Well done Finn & Newburn
Can't wait to see it driving
Glad to hear so much progress is on the way for the C-10! Am surprised though that it looked like the primary tube for cylinder 8 was a little shorter than the other guys and I was under the impression that would hurt scavenging, figured it would help to have it come forward to meet the other pipes and match the length. Can’t wait to see this thing fired up!
First episode I've seen in a while and I'm throughly impressed with how good these videos are getting! The graphics, transitions, edits, etc. are fricken awesome!
I can't wait to see how this truck turns out.
Hey Mike when you get that thing to Kvegas be sure to let Kirkland hear it those are his favorite kind of mufflers. He likes em looouuuuud
You always teach me something new..i appreciate you taking the time to make these videos
This is exactly the help I needed. I'm no dummy but this truly helps !! Thanks Bro !!
I really like that blue welding table you have
Great video can't wait to hear the rhythmic rumble of that beast. I was interested in the Furick Markout Pro until I saw the price, at $1800 I'll stick with calculations and cuts that are a touch long then dial them in on the belt sander.
You could make your own Furick. :)
Great content thanks for sharing
Can’t wait to see it on the road.
Love this show
Great job on the headers you boys do good work can’t wait to hear it run.
Nice! 👌
Literally took one welding class 2nd shift just to learn TIG for headers... Company owner stole from parent company that bought us out, we all got fired, hadta drop out to take 2nd shift work. Ugh My first weld in that class....."That's a better weld than I can do and the best one I've seen in my 24 years of teaching." I was good at it.
Awesome job,I don’t think you could buy a better header from a big company,they look amazing
I have to say I enjoy your work on your own stuff much more than the MT stuff... you seem so much more relaxed and self-motivated.
About time you got stuck into the C10, can't wait to see how you get it done and on the road 👍
Great video, thanks for sharing. Kevin
Newburn " Nice tight fit". Another T- Shirt. Ad slogan. Sticker....
A less expensive and more forgiving alternative for headers is using schedule pipe. It's thick enough it dosn't warp much, you can use a mig welder, you don't need to purge it (although it's a good idea), comes in all sorts of bends the one major drawback is it's quite heavy. Makes good short-mid length turbo headers but might not be practical for full long tube headers.
SO EXCITED TO SEE THIS THING COME TOGETHER! I have loved this thing since you started working on it. Bang up job yall. Buying a tig rig thanks to this channel!
Beau the Boykin!
Love your content!
best part... I can hear him!! Took so long to get a mic, loving it though.
Finigan I would sugest that you put a big back panel with the big back window instead of the stock small winndow. LMC has the complete back panel for about $500. Will make the C 10 look much better!
Go Bo, love your attitude
Iv a golden cocker spaniel here in ireland 🇮🇪 best a luck keeping your fella tired. My lad needs 2 hours walk for 1 mins rest 🤣best oul dog all the same 🙃
The new pup!
Highly recommend 5/8 drywall on your ceiling. Say you go to bed after welding and there's a small spark you have nothing to slow a fire through ceiling/floor of home
" Clearance, Clarence".
I remember the first pipes you made for Blasphemy. I must say these are quite an improvement. Great video!
I was tempted to say something about Ray Charles and his feet, but I decided not to
Finn your channel is like Most Expensivist automotive edition. Haha a guy can dream
Lol love the out takes 😂
I've never seen someone who welds so much and still has so much hair on there hands lol or im just to poor for good PPE lol either way keep cranking out videos to teach and entertain us thanks Fin and 12 volt dave
The production quality of this channel just skyrocketed! I have always loved the channel, but your editor has made it even better! Great Job!
I recommend the ARP stainless header stud kit . They really work awesome , especially with the aluminum heads.
God I love this show! Hey, Bo
Solar flux works well if you can't purge especially helpful for tacking
Nice headers, but the Furick Markout Pro tool is $1800.00. Budget killer. Can`t wait to see the C10 running again.
I just saw the price too..... wow it’s just a glorified protractor!
MAN-LEGOS! Love it
Nice 👍
One day I will weld like Finne! Lol Man I need to learn to weld!
You use that kit on the 55 that look good see you use the same thing good job 👍
Love the updated format on the channel. The c10 looks bitchin
Always have time to do it again no matter if you’re in a rush
