Painted headers ? At the Daytona 24 in '67, some of the Holman Moody and Shelby cars had the headers painted, I'm not sure if it
was VHT paint, or ceramic coating, did it exist then ? Looks cool ! also matches the car, but I'm sure it served a more practical
purpose. Here's a photo of P/1047 in the garages at Daytona, I have photos of the other's but my files are not organized well
In the 80's a friend had the headers on his 427 Comet ceramic coated, I remember it was expensive !! I think drag racers
used it. I believe that was another thing that came out of the military which found its way into other uses, like anti-lock brakes,
carbon fiber, kevlar etc.
I live in Canada, back in the '80s I used to see a U.S. Government, sometimes U.S. Air Force car parked in the driveway of my
neighbour's, I asked him about it, he didn't say too much but told me he had a company that did ceramic coatings for the U.S.
military. There was another company in my town that did satellite dishes for the U.S. military, lucrative business, supplying the
army with the tools of the trade
Way off topic now, Mike
ps: found a pic of P/1015 Daytona '67 colour matched exhaust blue on blue !
