The exhaust manifolds are looking good again. I am replacing the studs and wish I would have done so prior to coating them but recoating them if necessary after removing the existing studs should be an issue. The heat riser cover is black, which it may or may not have been before but it's black now. I found a small bracket that I had forgotten and blasted/painted it. If I recall correctly, this bracket had the brake booster hose routed through it. I also found the vacuum line that goes from the transmission to the intake manifold and cleaned it up along with added new hose.
