I am basically doing a complete restoration on every part of my car. The trans is back burnered for now so I got a very nice used trans from mepstein and cleaned it up. So looking for opinion. I am going to replace all the hardware because its cheap and helps to make it look nicer. I was going to paint it with cerakote then change the hardware. Now I am second guessing the paint. What do all of you think?
Note that my other trans will get a full rebuild and cosmetic restoration at a later date. |

Gibbs is my preferred when I rarely clean these things. However, I have had success with Rustoleum Hammerite (I think that is the name). Its the stuff for yard furniture. I'm still down to do a deal with ya on the rebuild for some custom heater work on the headers for the bus (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I know the spare needs the side shift nose cone as the ears are broken off the spare. |
