Transfer Case Detailed

The transfer case was rebuilt by a shop, and then spent large parts of two days detailing the aluminum case out side. Mostly done, still have non aluminum parts to finish. Case was partially cleaned by shop. Their was harden oxidation/debris on the out side especially along sharp angles in the case. Removal of these hard areas was by sanding block ( think 120 grit) in open areas, and smaller sand paper in enclosed areas ( lots of time). Did further cleaning and polishing, followed by wash with 409 cleaner. Not perfect, however, a lot more presentable.
Finally clear coated with satin clear.
Note: The number 316 hand written on TC is the truck build number on firewall.
