I'm putting the finishing touches on the engine compartment restoration. I don't know what to do with the stock exhaust manifolds. Basically everything else is done. I never removed the engine, and don't really want to remove the manifolds (trying to keep this a managble project.) The car will be a driver (about once per week) but I want it to look good. I'm afraid if I put any kind of paint of finish on that it will require maintenance. I'm also concerned that in order to do it right, I'll need to remove them from the engine to blast them etc. Is it considered acceptable for street driven division to have rusty manifolds or is this just personal preferrence? Should I bight the bullet, pull them off and do it right? Maybe I'll wait till next year when I'm suffering from withdrawls and needt something to do on the car. Can I paint them on the car and what can I use?
