The Final Drive!!!! Part 2

[Ben C.]

The final details of this 67 keep nipping at me. If anyone has answers please respond:
1. Rear spindle support, is it Natural or Semi-Gloss Black?
2. This AC big block has three black foam seals at the sides and bottom of the core support. Should there be a seperate black foam shield at the top? I know there is a black rubber seal attached to the top of the core suport with 6 clips.
3. Exhaust system mitted blackout: To what extent would be appropriate? Should top of mufflers as viewed from the fender well be first and foremost or should all exhaust pipes and entire muffler be included?
4. Any known source for rubber stamping for alternator diodes?

Thanks

1. Semi-gloss black except on machined surfaces.
2. The foam seal across the top is between the radiator and the shroud; the other three (side and bottom) are between the radiator and the radiator support.
3. JG describes the "mitting" application (never happened). The front, side, and rear of the mufflers got sprayed just prior to body drop.

Johh Hinckley, I am just about out of questions. Thanks for all the help.
It has been and still is one big cram at the end.
