I don't know if antone as the same problem, but my rear axle differential and the drive shaft are all corroded. I thought it was the enviroment but I look at a newer mustang and I notice that is not painted.

Yep, if you look at pics from any of these cars on a lift and they all look that way. Not just you, but I don't think it's a huge deal, mainly surface rust...

I am thinking about painting my car and maybe I will paint the bottom too.

Powder coating would be the way to go. Might cost some bux tho...

Just remember the driveshaft is a balanced part

Just replace the Drive shaft with an aluminum or carbon fiber one, no more rust.

The sooner you get to it the easier it is....... I know, I'm cheating with the alum driveshaft.

Well i have had my Mustang now for about three weeks and the day i brought it home i noticed that the entire rear end assmebly and axle was bare metal no cating or paint of any kind. So i took it upon myself to jack the car up and paint everything under there. I still have to do the drive shaft though.

Where did you buy the driveshaft from? Do you have a link?

Sure, have a look
