We spent a little time cleaning the driveshaft and rear shocks...quick paint job and they were ready to re-istall. I didn't find any paint marks on the driveshaft...but it did have a lot of undercoating

We also removed the exhaust system, cleaned it and painted with some Eastwood exhaust paint I had kicking around..

Here are some "after" shots...since this car had HD undercating from the selling dealer we decided to just e-spray some where needed and finish with a nice coat of chassis black paint. It's not a concours job but, it certainly makes the underside look clean and neat. I will probably do a little more detailing to touch up any little things we missed.

Thanks so much for taking the time to share the "freshening up" of your great old Nova. Very educational and cool!

RR brake drum...there was a sticker on the drum with BP letters in red...obviously to signify the axle code. Never saw this before...
