After reading about Super55's Manifold Disaster I'm wondering if my plan to remove mine ('57 235) for bead blasting & painting is a bad idea. I would hate to have them crack and have to try and find someone to weld them up. Would I be better off painting them on the engine and wrapping them in tin foil when I paint the engine? I'd like to do the exhaust in black, intake in silver and engine in blue/gray so everything would be different colors.
