My headers nightmare

If you can do all that work in 4 hours more power to you! What model number of hooker headers are you using with power steering in a A body?

5901. And as I understand it 4 hours is about average for a couple of guys doing it at home.

I guess where you come from, you rip people off. Down here in the south, we care about people, so yes, shops here would have eaten it and not charged a dime, plus he would have gotten his car back right........

But then down here, we wouldda put the headers ON.

I could see the shop not wanting to eat it if he did buy the wrong headers. But still, they shouldn't have agreed to do it then. And $700 bucks? The shop should have known LONG before that if the headers would fit or not. It becomes fairly obvious fairly quickly. And how long does it take to get the column back in straight and do an alignment? Half an hour?

Sounds like the guys gave up early. Slapped the car back together. And charged him full price anyways.
