RED Brake Drums
I failed to speak about the application of the Red paint on these ‘66 drums.
It’s quite interesting. It was a rolling process on the assembly line when a Tempest Series car was being built with the Rally I wheels. The Red paint was slathered onto the brake drum, bearing dust cap and lug studs, then the Rally wheel was mounted to the wet Red paint which resulted in the dripping mess on the inside of rim as the wheel was turned. A couple examples shown. The first 4 photos are of my ‘66 Red paint application. Another ‘66 with the wheel now in the trunk as a spare. PS, I doubt you will see this on a restored car.

Kind of expected when you ask a plant guy to paint some oily drums on a car moving at line speed.
 Must have been a low enough runner that it didn't make sense to have prepainted red drums on the line.
