I agree the exhaust manifolds are known issues at this point. I have seen what I am talking about and it looks good in my opinion but yes only correct looking until they were cranked and run.
Well not really since they first ran at the plant before the dealers received and sold them, this would make the freshly burned off paint (and any remaining paint) "correct" if being judged in O.E. judging, in fact even a small amount of surface rust is ok.

Above I think it was mentions to spray engine paint over the powder/ceramic coating and let it naturally burn off. Has anyone done that and does it leave a stain on the coating were the paint was?
Yes people have done this and while it looks nice, and has a "faux" correct look, the coatings (any coatings) look different as compared to real raw cast iron and are therefore "incorrect". But if that's the look you are going for that's of course your choice, but if you plan on entering your car in high level judging expect to lose points for it.

You are correct, most people will have no idea what they are looking at as far as the car goes much less overspray. I am not doing it for anyone else or there opinion, the deal is I will know and just prefer it to be that way. Even though I never sell anything, you also have to be aware of the difference in value of one the is nice and one that is close to correct. Truth is I much prefer day 2 and super stock cars or for that matter just plain junk but I just cant do it to this car.
Careful, your character's showing!

Hey how many people look at Big Block Negative battery cables and just think your sloppy!!!!!
My take on all of the uneducated negative comments about proper restoration detailing is simple, I refuse to "dumb down" my restoration to appease the ignorant masses.
