Question for fenderwell header guys/gals

I don't like fenderwell headers, either. That area you have to cut out is in that corner where some unibody triangulation occurs. IMO, that's a pretty high point of structural integrity in these cars and shouldn't be messed with. I think without the addition of the front part of a cage coming through the firewall (front hoops) that it weakens that whole front clip. I've just never liked doing it. If you put a wanted ad in the classified section, I bet someone has some inner fenders. That may not be the easiest repair, but it's the most correct and will add back the structural integrity your car has lost. Then you can get some nice under chassis headers for your small block.
