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

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.
