    69 wiper door linkage mounting finish...

    What would be the proper finish for the three oval shaped plates and six screws that hold the wiper door linkage to the firewall? I think the screws are a black phosphate or oxide but can't tell what the three oval plates should be.

    Thanks,

    Greg Linton

      Ha, Ha, Ha... Ah you might as well join the party too Chuck cause everyone else is on my case too to finish that car of mine!

      I've had some other things on the go namely trying to finish my rockers. I had them almost perfect but noticed a small area where something reacted so I sanded and resprayed only to have a bigger reaction! Then I thought I'd sand, prime and respray but then it reacted at the edge of the primer... Then I tried to spray it on drier and it seemed to work so on my last coat I sprayed it normally and guess what... So then I let it sit for a week to try and let the paint cure before trying again and then I resanded and hit it with some more paint and they came out perfect with no reactions! Yay! Then I realized that I grabbed the wrong can because after they dried they were WAY to shinny. After I freaked and got back from the loonie bin I had a cooler head and stripped them both right down the the bare glass and tried again with the correct can and for some reason they came out really nice. There is a couple dry spots from spot putty so I'll give them a quick sand and all should be well.

      If for some reason you hear on the news some night about a loonie Canadian throwing Corvette parts across the street from his garage you'll know things didn't go so well.

        You're doing what some say to do with a gym injury...Work through the pain; no matter how bad it hurts. That sequence would have led me to take a week off...to collect myself.
