I've seen alot of the re-skinning and tumbling and wheelbrater Muncie castings and they all look nice, but when you put them side by side with an NOS Muncie trans or NOS Muncie castings they're different colors and texture/smoothness...
As far as the black coating on the bolts goes, not all the bolts holding a Muncie together have the black coating, it depends on the supplier at that period in time...
In the early years most bolts were natural, later on they used some coated bolts...
I have an NOS 1969 M-21 only the front bearing retainer bolts are coated...
So to sum things up as nice as all this looks, its getting close to being over restored...
Hope this helps... Crash
