1972 Canadian H-Code 340 Dart Swinger Special Resto - Finally started!
As usual I was hoping to get a bit more done this weekend but did manage a couple of jobs, spotted if my oil bung on my diff,
And went to work erasing my 80's ugly on my tranny,

Unlike my engine I decided the tranny didn't need to be completely striped down to the metal since the paint is really on there well and the tranny doesn't get as hot as the engine, if it was summer and I could work outside I might have turned up my anal meter and striped it right down.

The cast paint covered well and I removed all the fasteners and blasted them and then blackened and sealed them,
Looks a whole lot better, I was hoping to get some assembly on my diff but couldn't get to it so I'll try to work on it in the evenings this week. Nice to be checking of some jobs now go online and order some more parts, arg!! I'm getting tired of spending money on this project!
Tried to find some pictures of what factory markings might have been on these tranny's but had no luck so if anyone has some info I'd appreciate the help.
