Obviously this rusty junk can't go in to my fresh engine like that so, I sent it to my polish guy. He rested the headers in rust remower chemical for a day and the next day, he polished the metal using three different polish pads from hard to soft. The result,

That's it for now, tomorrow we'll hopefully put the cover on and finish the internal build of the engine, thanks for watching...

Awesome restoration so far. Was quite amazed with how the headers turned out. Would have figured that those headers would have been a right off with all that rust.
