This is yet another example of the high caliber craftsmen the SA highered back in the day.

The statement that this is "painful" is quite accurate.

The drum blackout would have typically been done at the Ford assembly plant.

So we are saying that 67's were painted via brush on the exposed surface that you would see through the mag? I thought we had photos of a 65 with a paper tag on the drum where it was evident it had been sprayed black. Sorry ,didn't want to mix yrs.  On the old site is where that photo was .

That was the intent ... they often cover much more than just that outer area. This was something done for some Mustangs so it was just continued on the cars that would become Shelbys

Don't recall ever seeing spray used at San Jose for this purpose

Are the colors mentioned previously the same for a '66 early rear brake drum?

Thanks,
