Thanks WSB. Hopefully, we can get the 50-shot fogger installed next weekend, then have it running not too long after that. The exhaust we're going to use hasn't come in yet; it's a 4-into-1 Formula Ford header that we bought for only $10. It should look pretty mean after we sandblast it and put on some coating... What kind of store-bought stuff is out there for exhaust pieces (like high-temp lacquers)?

A 75-shot, we decided, was a bit overkill.

You can get high-temp spray on enamels, but I don't think they can stand up to a header's heat. There's a reason headers are usually unpainted

You could always send them to Jet Hot...

Probably not worth the cost though.

is that you in the background with the torn jeans?

you should have a matching "After" pic with the cleaned up engine, and you in the background in some sharp new threads.
