Re: Help PLEASE 1930 super 8 exhaust manifold

Yes, recently had someone who solves a lot of my problems for me powder coat the exhaust manifold on their '29 Hudson and it looks fantastic.

I know dozens of muscle car guys who had their exhaust manifolds powder coated plain gray bare metal looking years ago and they still look like brand new. That stuff holds up.

And the guys are right, the porcelain treatment, if you're going to drive the car at all, is only going to last a few years. Mine was porcelainized back when they restored it 20 years ago but the car really wasn't driven much (only 300 miles in 20 years). I've put over 400 miles on it since August and that glossy finish is starting to spider web and crack already.
