Does anyone know the correct color/finish for the hood hinges on a '68 Chevelle? I've seen them satin black, gloss black, and "cast grey". I'm not sure what color they originally were Thanks in advance. Also, with Ed's help I think I finally solved the AC dash vent issue. The 68 and 69

My 68 El Camino (which has been in the family since new, and unmolested), doesn't have ANY drain holes in the bed. I suspect someone decided to "install" those for you. Kevin Riel - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Chevelle-list@chevelles.net

Kevin, The hinges and springs were natural steelcolor. GM used a phosphate coating. Most people seem to paint them. If you want the natural look try sandblasting them and paint with a satin clear coat. I like using Eastwoods silver cadnium paint, but this is not correct. Mike -

Different Mike here. The phosphate is actually a zinc pfosphate product. I have a gallon from Eastwood. I use it in a spray bottle with repeated coats. Don't get it on you or the cement. I also used a Mr. Rust product. It's a handy product because you can spray a small cloth and wipe it on

You can phosphate coat at home. Dupont has a two part system that works pretty well. 5717S is first used to clean all the rust and dirt from the part them 5718S is the phosphate coating. It's a dip type coating, no special tools needed.It will resist rust but not prevent it. Much like the

Don't sandblast them if you want a natural steel look. Sandblasting changes the look of the surface, dulls and roughensit. Glass beading isn't quite as abrasive. Sandblasting also affects the integrity of the spring. Trooper - Original Message - From: Mike Holleman
