Garage art. CSX manifolds

[Dwathencars]

Happy 4th!!!
I'm sure this group can appreciate fine wall art in our garages.   I looked for a long time to find a set of proper 289 CSX manifolds, and here they are on the wall.  Left to right are pre WWII Jaguar SS manifolds, early and then late Jaguar DOHC manifolds (all porcelained) and then 289 CSX cast manifolds with down pipes.   The CSX manifolds were supplied by AC and shipped with the Cobras, and of course many were replaced with headers.   
Lori and I drive our cars and experience says exhaust manifolds are susceptible to road damage/deterioration. So no excuses now!   Dave.
