It hit 60 today, so I got a chance to paint the rear axle assembly. With luck, I'll get in back in the car in a week or two. I used Hammerite black to seal the rust, having first scrubbed it all down with a wire brush attachment on my air grinder.
One good thing about this work: it was a good opportunity to clean up some parts that have never seen daylight. These axle spring mounts have a groove on one side to take grease. After 75 years, that groove was filled with dried up grease, preventing good lubrication. All fixed now.
Here what it looks like today. Next comes brake reassembly, this time with new springs and rebuilt wheel cylinders.
