1978 Pontiac S/E Trans Am - Reclamation Breeds Inspiration
|
Nyle had the Dupont red-oxide primer matched to original primer that was well preserved under the dash; then single-stage urethane clear with flattener was applied to preserve it, so it's a bit shinier than stock. Large paint daubs on the differential were faithfully recreated. Nyle says, "The rear center section from the factory is bare cast iron (now cast-iron painted), the axle tubes are bare steel (now preserved with Eastwood steel paint), and the backing plates are raw (now steel-painted). The backside, however, was oversprayed with 60 percent gloss black on the assembly line, so rusty parts didn't show." That was replicated here. The brake lines are reproductions from Inline Tube, and the rear springs were restored and powdercoated in gray. View Related Article
