RE: [Chevelle-list] Headers
I also replaced my Hooker Headers with Doug's on my 65 GTO and am much happier with them - mainly for the additional 1-2" of ground clearance. I used to bottom out every where I went with the Hookers - not so with Doug's.

I have no actual experience, but a custom fit for '64-'72 should be better as there are differences. I think Doug's is what used to be "Doug Thorley", but I'm not sure.

Plasti-Kote seems to hold color & covers better than the Dupli-color. My motor was originally painted with the D-C paint & it faded considerably in a year. The P-K has been on for a year & looks just like new. I don't have any experience with any of the POR products, so I can't comment on them.
