Re: painting torque thrust wheels
Chuck,
I believe that you have the right idea as far as what the factory's cast aluminum parts looked like. My dad had some things cast at an Aluminum foundry and they used a vibratory bin filled with steel shot to remove the casting sand from the parts, when he got them back I was amazed at how close if not a dead on match to the "reskinned" and NOS aluminum parts look.
Now as far as how the Torq Thrust wheels looked... I was not born when they came out so I will have to defer to Mr. Lyons.
