Re: 1957 Chevy 4x4 NAPCO conversion...
Here are 2 more pics from just minutes ago-hot off the presses! My decision on the bell housing (you can see the chromed arm below) and inner fenders + core support was satin black vs gloss. I think it shows the shiny engine parts better.
The transfer case is painted with Rust-oleum Regal Red which I will use on the 4-speed transmission too. One hint to building I got from an old engineer: Whenever you bolt thru a frame, always use a star washer under the head of a bolt. There is actually a small radius from the bolt head to the shaft and this eliminates the bolt 'walking out' of the mount-particularly when splicing frame rails.
