Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
I've got the transmission back together for the 'Lil Red. Although I did not attempt to polish the case I did try to take off the casting seams and smooth the outside. I realize that it may not be the best practice on these housings, but I dislike the way that the cast surfaces hold dirt. It might have been better to seal the surface with just a clear coat but I decided to hit it with some red first. Hopefully it will wipe down easier now that it feels smooth. I avoided painting over the factory 'high stall' sticker that was on the converter but I did change the color from blue to black.
I'm still cleaning nuts and bolts for the re-assembly.
