'65 There goes my wonderful paint job,,,,

[Twan B.]

After a few months i started her up for the first time this year after the winter, rebuild the exhaust system and painted my exhaust mainfolds,
It makes a differend sound with the original standerd system and she drove verry nice "spinning like a *****cat".
The only thing thats disapointment is that my wonderfull paint job on the manifolds are gone (see pics), what happend with these manifolds on these cars when they came out of the factory

Hi Twan, normal as can be to cook off the paint, no surprises there. Would suggest you reroute your plug wires as was original to prevent cooking them on the manifolds. Also, check to see if you have the 'J' shaped heat shields around your spark plugs or you'll fry the plug boot ends into nice crispy chunks.
