This tread is just a silly thread that we are doing, just sitting around home because of the beer virus. It’s not meant to ruffle any feathers. Everyone has walk around at a car show and just shook your head at some car.

Hers one of mine, putting new cars in a show. Don’t get pissed, vette, camaro, Mopar guys. You see them every day. Just saying.
One year at Dream Cruise, I wanted to put my TA next to my Buddy’s 62 GP. My car was 24 years old. Birmingham said no. I asked about all the new Fauxbras that gather at the 555 building, the guy says their 60’s cars. I said really, look at their title, other than one, which has a NOT FAKE Lic plate on, the rest was built in someone’s garage. They threw the whole clan out. I think their back again. Me, I’m not into fake cars. |

My thoughts have always been that many likely started out with enough paint on them to keep them from flash rusting during the shipping and assembly period and them not worrying about them rusting once they were delivered to the dealer. Therefor, just enough paint to satisfy the manufacturer. I also treat them somewhat the same as exhaust manifolds. Most of us know that they were painted on the engine on a big block but most of the orange burned off shortly after starting them so many of us who chose to paint the orange on them paint them in a way to simulate the after effects of them when it has burned off. Could these master cylinders not be restored the same way? To replicate what they looked like by the time they arrive at the dealer? I now restore mine with just a misting of black paint on them to simulate what they may have looked like during the assembly line process. It also could boil down to a plant destination thing. It is a well known fact that many Chevelles had NO paint on any of the rear suspension and transmission crossmember (I mostly see that on Baltimore cars) whereas the other plants painted them overall black so I guess it is another one of those "never say never" things.

This is actually kinda fun, so allow me to throw out a few;
1. Those waist high stanchions at any indoor car show. 2. Car covers at any car show. 3. Radial T/A's (or any other modern radial tire) on anything that truly deserves a proper bias ply tire. 4. Cragar S/S's on anything but period correct applications. (sorry...never been a fan of S/S's!) And I could go on and on... Bashton |
