I'll post additional photos and attach them to this thread tomorrow morning. They should be a bit larger and provide more detail. If there is an area of the car that you are particularly interested in, let me know.

In regards to the exhaust manifolds, I understand wanting to keep originality and not paint them but will it look good to have rust underhood? Why not Jet Hot coat them? I have used Jet Hot several times (they are right in PA) The grey finish looks like cast iron and has a rust proof finish which is guarenteed. I always hate when I look under the hood of a beautiful car to see rusted exhaust manifolds... Just a thought...

Beautiful car BTW...
