- I'm cleaning up a '72 ribcase that I got from "Supercharged Mike" (thanks again) and it looks so pretty in the buff, ...er, natural aluminum, that I thought that I'd ask if anyone knows a good reaso

- Hmmmm. Unless the Sprites differ from the Midgets in this regard, I don't think they were painted in '67 anyway. I know some of the older ones were painted - there's a pic in Horler OSM of a engine/t

- Smoothcase trannys were painted engine colour, early ribcase trannys were raw, later ribcases (clear coated?), used trannys were painted whatever colour they had. My Datsun tranny is painted (grease

- Thanks, I'll look into Aluma-blast. This is a '72 'box, I think. It has switches for a reverse light and for the 'seat belt warning' . It has the remnants of black (I think) paint all over. Clay L.
