Speaking of guard rails, my wife scraped the whole side of my explorer from the front bumper to rear. I will probably just prime and paint it. She has been in two accidents in the last year both in my daily driver not hers. I guess I should stop letting her use it in the snow!
jim, weathering steel was around looong before COR-TEN. think about all those old fordsons that are perfectly preserved, except for the parts that are sunk in the mud. speaking of, there is a 9n for sale at acorn-thompson that is calling my name. they strategically parked it so i can see it every time i walk out of the shop

looks like left manifold = $115 and right manifold = $119. so $234 for those (and bolts)... hmm. gibson headers are $425 for stainless steel.. and ceramic coating is another $75. but ive seen on FTE the ceramic coating is just a waste of money

It's not worth very much sitting there in virtual reality. Now, put that(the real engine, not the picture) in an old stripped maverick or notchback, and you've got yourself a lightweight rocket!
