Nice. After the conversation today with the guy Cerakoting these parts, the exhaust manifolds will be in that silver. Pretty close to original appearing. Glad I found this guy, he's as meticulous as they come. I'm having the BBC exhaust shield done as well, black like the stove & pipe.

Speak of stove pipes...............I asked a carb. builder about divorce choke Vs electric. Told him I was using the stove, which may be just for appearances. He says stick with the divorce choke, which I know nothing about, because it was removed a long time ago. So here's the Cerakote that reduces heat. I may buy a water pump that reduces heat as well. Seems to me a divorce choke may not work right after all.
