Did you sand it or did you use a non solvent based cleaner? I used a wax and grease remover and they popped right up. Most of the marks I have found to be within the first two feet of the trans yoke. Except on my 71 pg 307.

I am glad I posted the picture now. There does seem to be a brown stripe there, guess I did not consider that on first inspection.
On this car everything on the undercarriage had been "chassis blacked". The only way I even suspected that there were stripes there is because there was a smooth spot that had not been effected by rust. So, I got out the 600 and started wet sanding, The best I could do was what you see in the picture. Mike |

I used a degreaser solvent and some steel wool.. maybe I am missing something or just can't quite find them or they are too light now to see.. Who knows?? I would like to duplicate them if I know the right color coding.. Rich

All the driveshafts that I have, have not been painted. You know what you are supposed to do before you apply fresh paint don't you? Yep, sand it. So, you might have try and duplicate it from another person's car. But keep trying. They might be there somewhere.

I know a guy who has an original 350hp 396 th400. Maybe he will let me take a look at it. Most of what I have are 6 banger stripes and a 307 pg. I just found them on the shafts this weekend. Although, my 69 Nova pg car had Green, Brown and Orange.

My car is an 05D if I remember correctly. Yes, I can honestly say that it is brown in between. It's not rust, because there is bare steel underneath. I looked at the inspection mark kits in the repro. cats. and there is nothing listed for brown. My eyes don't lie. I will try to get some pics of it.
