I want to restore the exhaust manifolds on my Superbird.
What is the best way to do this? What is the best product to use on them to make them look the most correct?

Thanks




If "correct" is what you want, then rust is what you'll need as factory manifolds had no protective coating, engine paint overspray was about it, and it didn't last long, so they ended up looking ugly in short time,...IMHO, if your castings are very nice and pit free, I'd have them ceramic coated, Fireball coatings does a very nice job, they have a very natural coating for a new cast look, you can then decide if you want to add the "overspray" appearance to them for a much more original appearance, I've used Fireball coatings after Alan Galant (barrelcuda) recommended them to me, and they're right in your backyard in Erin, Ontario, a set of manifolds will run $250-$350 depending on size, do them once, do them right
