So, it sounds like powdercoating the original one is the better way to go, eh?

My new axles should be here in 10-14 days. Once they get here, I plan on emptying the pumpkin (probably never had the fluid changed), taking some brake cleaner or kerosene to the guts (per other suggestions I searched), then tossing a better looking cover on.

For the panhard mount, it looks like there is a rubberized coating on the back side of it, and it almost looks like it could be a nut. I didn't try to cut it off though to see what's up w/it.

I kinda want to keep the provision there - no telling what it could ever be good for, but ...
