1964 Chassis Blackout Re-Visited

Jim, what year is it? Does show blackout was still being used with disc brake cars, however much less. Seen original 65 396 showing blackout on half shafts, also noticed the drive shaft is not covered at this point on the line.

Notice rear end, half, struts, brake drums all got blackout - bet the spray also got the adapters at the end of half shafts also.

Harry, I put a post above on that spot welded shield, I thought its purpose was for heat as the exhaust pipe sits below that end of the strut brace?

Sounds reasonable as there were heat shields behind the mufflers that were 63 only.

That's the 1966 line.

Hey Jace - Just wanted to thank you for posting your incredible photos. These are just super. You already have so many personal requests for additional photos, I won't add to your workload. But if you plan on posting more pics on the forum, I, along with others, will certainly gain much from seeing your superb car! Thanks!!!!

More pics after gentle cleaning. Better view of the blackout on the half shafts and rods as well as some great original factory paint dabs, body shim masking tape, and original grey spring paint. Kinda like Corvette Archeology!
