correct front suspension parts finishes
« on: August 21, 2013, 02:33:16 PM »
I am trying to wrap up the front subframe on my 68 SSRS and was curious if there was a list somewhere of all the correct finishes for the front suspension components?
Thanks in advance

Not absolute - but a good reference list:  http://www.67z28.com/finishes.htm

Not sure if you have Jerry McNeish's books - well worth getting for this information and additional details about the cars.

Also, if you search on the site for the specific component finishes you're seeking, there is usually a post.
