Re: Brake pedal bracket
Tom, it ain't pink, it's rose primer. Just looks pinkish in the photo flash. This one only Baltimore LS6 had a rose primer as opposed to a red oxide. Likely the plant was using up or mixing some primer to get rid of it as all the other Baltimore cars were red oxide that I have had apart and since I restore them as I find them...........
Jason, that is called 'bonderizing'. We used to do it all the time to bare steel parts when I work in a commercial paint shop. It gives it a very faint rainbow effect and protected the parts long enough to ship them to the end user without flash rusting. The greasy mix you speak of was likely a coating of Cosmoline which was commonly used in the plants.
Nice looking pedals Mike. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
