Re: Reproduction Exhaust Manifolds (Paragon)
Patterns wear, and parts from GM in the 70's were subjected to secondary operations that significantly changed the appearance due to wear in the patterns, so it is unlikely that the original patterns are still useful. Regardless, as to judging reproductions or GM replacement parts, if it appears exactly as the originals appear it is to recieve full credit, if not, deductions are in order, the location or parentage of the models or the foundry are not the issue, only the appearance.
