grannys back on her feet....

well i got granny pretty well finished up, just a couple little snags... the virtually new feul pump, maybe 200 miles or so, is leaking at the seam where the top & bottom meet.

the more pressing concern is that the passenger side header seems to be warped at the collector. it is probably an inch and a half or better off. i discovered that today when i was putting my pypes street pro kit on today, great kit!! any advice on the header? i've got a good corner post and a come a long, it seems a little redneck but i'm thinking about getting the header good & hot and putting a nice easy pull on it and leaving it to cool. maybe do that a few times until it doesn't spring back??

any thoughts?

Or you can heat the header with a torch, use a pry bar, and move the collector where you need it.

i may get it set up and have the neighbor hit it with a rosebud... my torch isn't currently set up, need to lease a couple tanks but can't decide if i'll use the thing enough at this point in time to justify the expense...
