Re: Combat Rusty Exhaust Manifolds
Crap,
 Forgot about Jerry. He did my intake manifold and it turned out awesome. Thanks to all.Bruce, I plan on getting my info in soon. I have been really busy lately. Now I'm wondering if I should hold off a couple more months because Kenny Pascoe's L-78 is certainly a tough act to follow.

Re: Combat Rusty Exhaust Manifolds
I gonna get hammered on this one....But..Why all the fuss over rusted manifolds? I have never EVER seen anything but..from day one.I think light rust is more of a factory finish then the cast blasted dipped in gray stay-puff looking manifolds...I'm all for glass beading then throwing them in a media tumbler and then bolting them on and letting nature take it from there...Anyone else
 Oh yeah...I don't like coated headers on a "Day two" car either..VHT and rust...OlD ScHOoL..  Steve

Re: Combat Rusty Exhaust Manifolds
Steve,
The NCRS guys are all over this subject. Yes, I suspect every new car arrived with lightly rusted exhaust manifolds. Hell, if you glass bead them and leave them out anywhere other than the desert, they will rust almost immediately.  Jerry MacNeish seems to get a lot of notice with the Vette crowd concerning the exhaust manifold treatment. I myself cannot bare to see my exhaust manifolds rusted. So, Jerry will end up doing mine soon. Steve

Re: Combat Rusty Exhaust Manifolds
I just did a set for a friend's '58 Fulie in this Ground Up Restoration paint... they came out pretty nice for spray can...
Jerry did the manifolds on my '66 Corvette and they're just perfect.

[/ 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
