69 621 Bellhousing Correct Finish

The bellhousing was on the engine when it was painted; it will show varying levels of overspray on the forward 4"-6", or more, or less, depending on how the sprayer felt that day.

I went through the Diamond judging and my bellhousing was painted orange and they accepted it. I think that they will accept it natural with overspray also

SB's were oversprayed as well, some a little, some a lot, but rarely (if ever) was the entire bell painted orange.

I recently purchased a '621 bell housing that was originally
attached to its matching L/71 ( never separated ). This bell
housing has a heavy overspray around the entire perimeter
of the mounting surface, with the exception of the clutch
fork area. This area was left alone. It even has the
original yellow pencil inspection mark.

I bought it mainly because it was as originally painted and
time has changed overspray if you get my meaning. I always
try to purchase originally painted componentry what I can,
as long as I have a reasonable expectation that they are
indeed original.

Nice pictures Chuck. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Rick, but I just posted Jacks pics....and should have made that clear.........anyway Jack's 70 Z-28 is certainly the most documented (pictures taken) one we know of today. Through Jack's many hours of cleaning and picture taking, it has certainly made restoring this model much easier.

my 67 Chevelle SS396 had a painted bellhousing when i removed it for a lakewood in 69. It was original untouched.
