Default Re: Correct part finish

The flywheel covers were painted black when they were stamped, but over sprayed orange at the engine plant.

The bell housings were installed after the flywheel was bolted down, and the black cover was installed, before the engine was painted. The engines were painted after all these parts were in place. So the exhaust manifolds, bell housing, inspection cover, etc were all over sprayed orange. If the inspection cover wasn't in place, the fly wheel would have orange paint on it, and it didn't.

The inspection cover color was recently discussed on Team Chevelle, and several guys with un-restored originals, all said, there was lots of orange paint on their original inspection covers.
