To give a some background on my project. I'm working on a 56' standard 100 =
BN2. 90k mile car stored indoors for over 40 years. Some areas of the car =
are amazingly original/ clean/ untouched. But of course it has its demons a=
s well. So I'm doing a lot of "preservation" where possible, and restoratio=
n where needed.
Anyway, in reading the concours standards it sounds like the standard 100 i=
ntake manifold and exhaust manifold are painted engine color? I have traces=
of engine color on the balance pipe, but absolutely nothing on the intakes=
.
I was thinking of painting the air cleaners with hammortone silver/aluminum=
paint and overpainting with a light coat of engine color, but was interest=
ed in what others have done to achieve the correct look?
Thanks all, Shawn
