It took plenty of labor hours to get the chassis this clean and detailed. The exhaust manifolds were high-temp ceramic-coated in a natural cast finish, and the exhaust system is a used original that was purchased and restored. It was glass-beaded and received a high-temp powdercoating. "Its finish is a bit bright, but it's the closest we were able to get to bare steel without leaving it raw," Nyle says. The resonators came from an old muffler shop that matched the part numbers. Semigloss black was used on the subframe, and the steering linkage was sprayed with Eastwood steel paint to replicate bare metal. According to Nyle, all of the nuts, bolts, clips, and screws on the T/A were taken off, glass-beaded, and replated in the correct finishes at Midwest Plating in Grand Rapids. View Related Article
