A big thank you to all following along, there's been precious little progress here as modeling time has been scarce. I did make a set of headers for the Fiat and have been slowly getting parts painted. Here's the headers...

Using my handy dandy metal bending tool, I put a bend in some aluminum tubing to match the kit part, I also cut the original tubes off the kit part and filed down the remaining stubs to fit inside my new tubes. Using the kit flange maintains the spacing and angle.

As you can see from the last photo, the kit piece is JUNK!

A little primer and some flat black seals the deal.

Much more to come, I'm planning to add the last couple parts to the rail later today and take some more photos. Thanks again!
