Title: Driveshaft coating
Post by: mikelj5S230 on March 10, 2023, 06:42:10 PM

I just received my '64 1/2 driveshaft done by Jack at Dead Nuts On.  It is bare metal, and will rust unless I coat it with something. I have clear lacquer spray, and some Boeshield Tim Lea left me after restoring my KR he liked to coat bare metal parts with. Which would be best considering I am entering it into Driven Concours at the MCA National in June?  Thanks for any opinions.

RPM by ECS is good.  Would definitely not use clearcoat, that's just asking for trouble.

I purchased a driveshaft form Deadnuts for our 67 GT350.  Wiped it clean with a solvent to remove protective shipping coating, make sure what ever you use for solvent does not disturb the paint markings.  Then I doused the driveshaft and u-joints with T9 Boeshield.
