Paint? Or Not? Twister and T Series Gearcases
It's fairly straight forward that gearcases used on the BPs, Twisters, T1 and T2X all had phantom black paint finishes. With the introduction of the CLE #6 and #4 gearcases I can't recall ever seeing one with phantom black paint? What series of events got rid of the paint on the CLEs? Mercury Racing? APBA Motor Technical Committee? Or did the paint and primer simply not bond? I remember all the debate over what kind of surface finish was allowed on the sand castings. Some cases were polished to a point where the gearcase oil would just seep thru the shrink crevasses to the surface of the case.
