Unpainted parts
On a midyear (10/1966), which parts of the drivetrain/suspension were unpainted originally? (Halfshaft/flange, driveshaft, callliper brackets (front and rear), Struts, Diff carrier,rear spindle housing/flange, front springs, sway bars, steering box, tie rods?)
For parts left unpainted, are you spraying something like WD-40 on them occasionally to keep the surface rust away with good results?

for unpainted parts clean them very well, and then clear coat them with a low gloss. an NCRS JM will have all the info you need.
