CAn anyone provide me with plating info on bolts and parts
« on: July 05, 2005 - 09:21:27 PM »
When I restored my Chevelles I was able to find info detailing what bolts and parts were plated........for example some were gray phosphate plated, some cadmium plated.....some zinc (silver) plated.   These are for concours type restorations....   I am fickle about doing things correct (for the most part) with a touch of my own personal touch........for instance I have seen a few concours Mopar cars at shows and they each had the upper control arms gold cadmium plated.   A platium AAR Cuda owner swore the correct plating for upper control arms from the factory were cad plated............at any way I am rambling on.........MY QUESTION IS DOES ANYONE HAVE GOOD INFO AS TO WHAT SHOULD BE PLATED WHAT?

THANKS........KEVIN

Do you have a copy of this book?  It tells how most things should look.  I assume it iis accurate.  I picked up my copy on ebay.
