I’ve been thinking ahead, about what to do for the Queen after the body is done. Maybe I’ll get the engine recoated, maybe in blue. I’d want to get blued stainless steel headers to kind of complement. What do you think?

Of course, I’ll probably also do exhaust work at the same time.

Headers are a nice mod.  I personally like the ceramic coated headers.  They hold up very well.  Not sure how well the bare stainless will stay looking good.

All depends on the brand.

Ive always went with ceramic coated when possible

I guess. Would definitely look classy. Is it currently wearing cast iron?

The only tricky thing about stainless at the engine is that stainless tubing doesn’t stress-cycle as well as normal steel and heats up faster than cast iron, so depending on design can be more prone to cracking.

Ceramic coated headers and some electric cutouts.
