Believe me I have thought that many times, but I don't have a cutting torch available.  I guess I could rent one. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Weber To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2004 4:34 PM Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] Header removal Maybe you should cut them up to get them off, if they are old crap?  Perhaps your new headers are a different shape and might slide in?  Just an idea.  Don't kill yourself trying to get aftermarket cheap crap headers off!
