Getting there fast, do you paint the passenger compartments?
I only paint the areas that can be seen like over spray under the dash with body color,all of the rest is coated with POR-15 or Rustbullit.

We disassembled the trans today and cleaned parts. Here are some of the inspection marks for it. We made stencils to reproduce the numbers.

Hello everyone.
Here is this weeks update, got the car blocked one more time. This should be the last overall priming.
I'll block it again and spot prime from here on out.
 Cleaned and disassembled the rear axle ,all the front and rear suspention is now ready for blasting and paint.
There are a lot of paint markings on the rear axle with the  only the assembly dates missing.

A friend of mine works in a tool and die shop and he brought me a drum of cleaner they use in there machines. It works great and is not a EPA problem. I'll have to ask him the name of the product .

If anyone has pictures of the rear axle markings on the round area of the housing I would like to see them(73 Cuda).Mine are so faded I can't figure it out.
This housing has a lot of very sloppy markings and some are missing alltogether.

It's in color!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cooldancing:

The pictures are not very good I'll take some tomorrow after it's moved.
I started spraying at 8:00 tonight and finished at 11:00 so now it's time to call it a night!
