Days, yep, laying under it hand scraping and cleaning, sanding, lacquer wiping...... probably could have dropped the rear end assembly all together and done it a little easier, but unfortunately I'm not set up yet to do it on my property,(still working on getting the shop built), but, living in town I can't tear it down to that level in the driveway...so I do it another way, the hard way... lol..but really it's very rewarding to see the end result before you even start...thanks for comments.
