Day 2 Headers?

[Jefferson]

Post up some pictures of Day 2 Headers. I did a quick search and did not find much. I want to paint or wrap my old hooker super comps and just seeing what would look better. I have found mostly white painted here on the site.

I'm also going to do mine in the ceramic white. I've never saw a picture of the old Cragar headers. Were they really blue?

I really don't know much about the old Bill Thomas built cars, but would love to see this one discussed. Spoke to the owner who said the headers on the car were originally blue. I don't think these are the original ones, but they did try to keep in the spirit of how the car was built.

I saw that Jet-Hot is now offering blue ceramic coating among other colors.

I'm a big fan of the white myself. I had spoken to an older drag racer and he told me that white was a very &quot; HOT&quot; color for headers. Hot as in temp hot, not as in cool??? I wouldn't think that header paint, back then , wouldn't make a bit of difference in temp?

I had a set of Blackjack headers on my chevelle back in the late 70's. They were painted white and were supposed to clean themselves as they go hot.

Black engines would retain and make HP faster that the orange color and the white headers, gas tank and undercarriage reflected heat to keep things cooler and maintain HP. Did it work or was it a good theory? I have a vinbtage set of headers that I though were Cragar but see that they are exactly!!! like Hookers back in the early 70's. I am beginning to believe that Hooker made them for Cragar.
