Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour
Vic, With due respect and to offer a bit of (obviously needed) clarification I's like to reiterate in part my earlier post:
The axle housings were not CAST by Columbia. Rather, the right housing was CAST by Ford and MODIFIED by Columbia.
Columbia did NOT cast axle housings. Period.
When I began to read this thread I initially became interested in the "texture" as I'd not seen that before on a "restored" assembly. It had not occurred to me that you would have painted over a pitted (rusted) housing as must surely be the only plausible explanation. That is the sole reason I inquired about the "texture" in the first place.
It was my mistake to assume. You know what is said about those that assume.
