detailed underside, diff pics wanted
i'm looking for a little photographic motivation while rebuilding my diff. i know somew of you guys have been a little **** about detailing your diffs and undercarriages.
i can remember a few years ago there was a thread about this and there were some very clean cars out there, i'd like to see a pic or two.
thanks guys

Just had to get in here before he did.
Used copper wire brushes and degreaser. Finish with a nice spray down of brake cleaner.

Some have said I got a little carried away. It was fun though & only took some time & a few sanding rolls & polish.

I figured when I put in a 44 I would do it up myself. Those look great ! jr. that is one seriously clean set-up and underside. I would be afraid to have mine look that good .....I wouldn't want to drive it anywhere. Did you clear coat all the parts as well?
