1972 Canadian H-Code 340 Dart Swinger Special Resto - Finally started!
Boy it's really starting to show that I haven't worked on this car for 30 plus years, everything seems to take way longer to do then it should. I did finally get my diff put back together and I think it turned out pretty nice, from this crusty rusty decades old piece

To a much nicer close to factory new look,
The emergency brake actuator and the equalizer bar were really corroded so I put them in Evaporust over night but they were still pretty scruffy so I buffed them up with the wire wheel but that left them too shiny and still open for rusting so I gave them a light couple of coats of cast paint,
I also need to clean up my bell drums but did confirm something that I wasn't sure about, when I started blasting them it revealed that they did have the area on the front face that was red so I guess I'll replicate that. So bolt on the springs and slide on the drums and it can go under the car. Really nice to be emptying boxes and gaining space back.
