Good quote on Jerry's book, I should buy it for a barometer, I'm curious on the rear my BE 12 bolt looks like the tubes are painted but the center natural and rear cover as well, who knows.....

John Z, who was there, has stated that rear axles were painted black complete with drums. Lines and cables added later, yoke was masked. There are a number of axle photos in vintage car magazine tests and the axles look shiny black. One of the best is ZL-1 #3 in the Aug '69 HP Cars.

Remember this stuff was not cleaned, degreased or primed prior to paint. I doubt the paint adhered for long.
