Yes, I do exactly the same.  I use outline mode, which should already
be installed (it comes with Emacs).  I use local variables in the
file so that the file will open in the correct mode and give me
colourec fonts.  I stick something like this at the end of each file
(the 'eval' makes outline-mode display headers only):-

* Emacs file configuration

  Local Variables:
  mode: outline
  eval: (hide-sublevels 8)
  End:
