You might check out GoodysgotaCuda 's dad's car that was on Overhaulin'. They did the fender eybrows and hood trim in silver and it looks pretty good. The biggest thing to me is that we are working with 30+ year old parts. I wish some one was making repops of the whole header piece. New fiberglass would be a whole lot stronger and the weak area's could be beefed up. I thought it would be neat to try to make a mold to make new ones, but it sounds like(from the people I've talked to anyway) that you pretty much destroy the original making the mold. That would be o.k. if the new one worked out perfectly, but if it didn't......... A new header in luminum would be cool, but it would almost have to be cast, and therefore either strong but heavy, or light but weak. That and how would you repair it if it were to get damaged? My dad has a smelter (he used to own/run a recycling business) and we tried pouring some custom pieces, but it was not easy and not really worth the time (at that time anyway). I like the idea though.
