It's looking really good. I always love the look of a freshly restored subframe when it's all going back together. Painting or powder coating the subframe? Body is looking close to having color.

Going to paint the frame. Was afraid that powder coating would fill the "forming marks" on the frame. Same goes for the A-arms.

Default BE is bare naked no more....

Finally got the BE rear painted and back together. Still need to mount up the brake lines. The yellow stripes on the bottom of the differential were found when stripping the paint as were the white inspection drips and number. I also saw those similar yellow stripes on a 9,000 mile unrestored COPO from Columbus at GoodGuys last summer. I changed the white number from a "6" to a "3" during resto as my car's assembly sequence was "3". Can't say for sure that's what the 6 was for, but I went with it.
