When I first purchased this car it had 4.10 gears which I robbed out for another car. Not sure why but I did not powder coat the housing at that time. So away we go

This was a brand new bearing when I swapped the gears
This literally has less than a mile of use. The spots visible are deep pin holes which were not visible under the coating when first installed.
