72 TA : New Project

Driver side front cowl area. The black is flat black, not semi-gloss. Note the heavy runs in the black paint.

The inside of the tran hump where the shifter goes through. This area had a random coating of the same body shutz (heavy undercoat) that the rear wheel wells had. An interesting note: It appears that the body shutz in the rear wheel wells was applied before paint. The undercoated area is painted white and when a section is peeled away, shows red oxide primer underneath.

I spent the day powerwashing the frame and then using some paint stripper to get the real yucky stuff off. Look what I found under the paint by the passenger side rear of the subframe. It looks like it was hand-printed with a magic marker "5236 44." Does this correspond to anything?

Here it is upside down so you dont pull a neck muscle looking at it.

And here is a close up of the front coil spring. As you can see it was painted black originaly and still has the part number tag attached, #3988100 AX. Does anyone know if this tag is reproduced? I couldnt find it on Jim Osborn's site.

I spent some time hand washing the spindles today, trying to preserve the original paint marks. It seems that the spindles have some type of grey phosphate coating on them. After using a toothbrush and some watered down detergent, here are the results. This is the driver's side spindle with its green paint mark.
