1971 Road runner exhaust tip hangers

[71Beeper]

Guys - what color did the exhaust tip hangers come from the factory?
I'm prepping mine and want to paint them the same color.

I would imagine just like that in bare steel, ready to rust. RPM them or dip them in Boeshield T9

 

[butterscotch71]

agree...bare steel

Not sure they were "bare".

Correct color, but coated with something.

I've had a set laying around unprotected for at least 15 years and there's no rust at all on them.

Wayne, I have the RPM stuff but am not too fond of it.
I do not have any of the Boeshield T9....but I do have this stuff, is it the same?

 

[dadsbee]

I've got a bunch of sample bottles of ACF-50 around here somewhere... probably work just fine. RPM is a pain as it has to be heated to apply, but I did my entire Bee with it and it does work.

What is "lubrification"?

What is "lubrification"?

It's a thing the French girls do quite well !

 

[71Beeper]

This is what I found......

I had a guy on my crew who said "authentificate" instead of "authenticate".

Was he right, too?

How about the guy that said "Pentenium" instead of "Pentium"?

Those two guys drove me crazy.
