    How does this Spindle Look?

    I recently started the restoration of my ’65 Coupe I’ve owned since I was 20 years old. (Now 55) This is also my first topic and I did a search and could not find a lot about the natural cast finish that has many photos attached.

    My question is this anywhere close to looking correct for a natural cast finish of my spindle and steering knuckler?

    Note: There is no cast paint or clear applied to the part. I did apply some Boeshield T-9 to prevent the part from rusting and it does give the part a bit of a shine.

    Just for fun I’m also posting what the part looked like prior to removal. This is actually the other side but you get the idea.

    I'd say the spindle looks very good and very close to the original appearance.

      I would say that it looks fantastic! If it were my spindle, I would be proud to display it and the rest of the suspension looking like that!

        Mike, What clean-up process did you use?

              Looks nice. Be sure to clean the machined surfaces too if you want to make it factory correct.
