Stahl Headers
Just an FYI for the Nostalgia guys or anybody else interested, although I didn't speak to Mr. Stahl himself, a couple of guys in the shop assured me that Stahl is still in the header building business! They still have their old jigs and if they were asked to they could build new sets of the good old, hard to find, Jr. Stock fenderwell types or anything else you might need. They also have a good stock of flanges, collectors and tubing.

Re: Stahl Headers
That's good to know...came across their website looking for a application list and pricing on the headers being offered. http://www.stahlheaders.com/

Re: Stahl Headers
They're in a little bit of a state of flux right now, I'd call about what you're interested in!

Re: Stahl Headers
I've swapped emails with Jere, but not talked to him on the phone. Last we spoke on the phone, Jere was still going to sell all the pieces in weld up kits, he just wasn't going to sell complete finished headers.
I don't know that he ever found anyone who would buy enough of the business for him to sell it. He was always going to keep the tubing bender and sell pre-bent tubing and parts to the buyer of the jigs and other property.

Re: Stahl Headers
Jere Stahl is a very interesting person for sure.
If you look up the word character and I think you will see a picture of him. He marches to the beat of a different drummer for sure. Opinionated would be putting it in a nice way. I remember when Dick Moroso went to work for him in the mid 60's and that lasted about 1 1/2 to 2 years before they split. Jimbo |

Re: Stahl Headers
That was a bad choice of words to say the least! They are open every day, they have people waiting to build headers for new stuff or old. Sorry for any mixup.

Re: Stahl Headers
I still have the set of Stahl Headers that I ran on my SS small block Demon back in the day, 32 years old. They are in great shape, not coated, VHT painted only, and to this day zero rust! I can't figure that out! Jim
