Re: Combat Rusty Exhaust Manifolds
[ QUOTE ]
Daniel,
Are these the manifolds that Jerry did? I can't see him
doing overspray like that. Actually, I'm not sure he even
buys into the whole overspray thing anyway. I've debated
this with him before. No way the exhaust manifolds came
from Tonawanda without orange overspray. The engines were
painted with the exhaust manifolds installed. Personally,
I think this one is relatively close to what was actually
done on a production basis.
BTW, I have an original L-88 exhaust manifold that looks
very similar to the one on this image ( overspray-wise ).

Steve, the overspray was added by the restoration shop. Its tough to get the paint to bond to the manifolds once hot, but the reskining adds additional protection. Jerry did the manifolds before they were painted.
