Haha nope, I do have to drive my wifes old honda as my daily driver right now until I get my truck built. The headers are the summitracing sbf block hugger. They are 127 bucks plus shipping. I bought some of that VHT flameproof paint. It requires to either bake them in oven to cure or heat them for certain increments of time on engine.

Well the directions say 250* for 30 min, then 400* for 30, then 600* for 30 minutes. My stove only went to 500* so I hope it works and is durable lol

a friend of a friend picked up a used oven at a consignment shop or thrift store so he could do his baking in the garage without ticking off his wife. Your result looks good. Nicely done.

When I painted my manifolds last year, I fired up the gas grille. Alittle tin foil on the grate so I didn't get BBQ sauce on it, put the cover down, then used my wife's oven thermometer to check temp. Worked great, no fumes in the house, and I'll bet the neighbors were wondering what the heck I was cooking.

Dang! I didn't think of that! That would have been perfect too. The fumes weren't that bad though, I did open a few doors and turned the ceiling fans on in the house to get the fumes out before my wife got home
