i think that coating the high tec germans used to specialy coat the tranny since oxidizing was such an issue was 90 wt earl.....wipe er down with that earl stuff and by the time you look at it agian after driving it tada all covered in dirt and grime...

but if you paint it and polish the ribs then it may oxidize rapidly causing an unknown type of failure since none of us will live long enough to see the results of this oxidizing problem you speak of...




Seriously dude I never said the oxidation was a mechanical issue, Just IN MY OPINION DOES NOT LOOK GOOD.

Wow sure is funny that it is OK for you to have something nice and cleaned and painted but when other people want to clean their cars up and paint shit they are stupid for doing it. I think you have told me that many times about my current 62. "o your stupid you should just roll it the way it is" I enjoy making my rides better thats why I have em, and when I am done Ill drive em and when I go to work on em after I have trashed something at least I will be able to tell whats wrong because I have touched just about everything under the car.
