Prepping the drop spindles for paint. I used VHT Caliper paint to resist corrosion and chemicals such as brake fluid/cleaner.
Neat trick I found watching youtube, if you tap the edges with a hammer, it masks a hole perfectly.





The caliper paint stated it needed a baking process for curing to give it that protective state. Fortunately, Walmart had an extra large countertop oven.

Re: My 1963 Build

Finally got the front end buttoned up and took it to the alignment shop to get her straightened out - pun intended



But first, car wash
