Re: Kwhizz (Ken's) So Cool L89 Nova!
 

That thing sets PERFECT...the whole thing does it for me...gold guts, auto on the column, AND a bench seat?! Perfect...the L78/89 is just gravy! Two thumbs up...and I'd give it three if I had 'em! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

I saw this car in person at Nova Nats. and was extremely impressed with not only the car but also Ken's generous display of knowledge of all types of systems and components on everybody elses cars.

I cannot believe my eyes looking at this car and especially the engine compartment. It is immaculate. I sold him the 842 heads and am glad they went to such great use. It is truly a work of art

What coating did you use on the exhaust manifold?
They look great! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Kwhizz (Ken's) So Cool L89 Nova!
 

I glass beaded them and coated them with Calyx.....it's like a graphite paste that you rub on heavy and then wipe off with a rag......to touch them up just smear on some more and wipe it off and they look like new.....other than that I would use the Jet-Hot cast iron colored coating like MR 70 has on his car, there seems to be a little less maintainance that way..........we learn every day......Except for my wife cause she knows everything
