This looks period-correct and doesn't require cutting a hole in the fender.

with fender exits there is a problem getting the desired primary lengths and collector extensions. One ends up with something like this for an early bird.

Fender exit. The bottom of the car will stay Way cleaner.

What is min weight for your combo in the class you run? You cant let that car stay at 3500 frickin pounds.

Like the Headers in Post #43 and would look cool on your car, Jack.
You have to build new stepped headers for your heads anyway, A good fab guy could knock them out for you no problem. You could still run removable exhaust pipes/mufflers to the rear for Beer Runs. 45 seconds to drop the exhaust with Marmon flanges and an air tool. Ask me how I know.

Easy fix, 1 3/4 primary with a 110 deg angle. Some 3" collectors and you're done!

Looks like Ron is about to get creative, I'm sure they're going to look great and function great when they're done.

Headers should be very close to a bbc abody right? I'm sure looking at some lemmons large tube chevelle headers should give some in sight

IMO Street cars don't have fender exit headers. I'm sure your chassis guy can work it out and build you a conventional header.
