Jason, I noticed that you painted the welds for the control arm brackets and the plates at the ends of the axle tubes, is this how the diff. was originally?

BTW, great job

Mike

Thanks Mike......and everybody else.

Whenever you MIG weld two pieces of metal together you get a black haze around the area from the extreme heat generated. I add that little detail on my rear axles to try to make them look as realistic as I can. They were bare metal when installed.

I also paint the center section a little darker gray than the tubes and the cover since that area is cast iron.
