Hi Chris, it was great to meet at PSMCDR, and MCACN!!!!

Yup, no plastic in the oven:-)

I have the tie rods already, and have the pitman arm and center link on order, I will see what they look like and I am thinking about coating the steering components with Boe-Shield or one of the recommended protectants so my chassis restoration has just that one more step towards perfection:-) (Slippery slope)

I will check that DSL supplier as well.

The have procured non-finned drums for all the way around:-) (The finned rears will be blasted and powder coated for spare, but not machined, if the cost is reasonable)

PS: Remember we found the one side of my car has the W-30,31,32 front fender support bracket and special Phillips screws and the other has the normal non W-Machine bracket and bolts........ you mentioned possibly having an extra........ LMK I can't remember which side, I will have to look.

&quot;OAI W-Machine&quot; wiper washer fluid bottle? (Mine has a little piece missing for the corner, casually looking)

4 speed shifter floor hump out of a rust free donor car?

I've only been able to locate complete car sets of those phillips head &quot;bolts&quot;. I have some singles still on braces or fenders and can't get them off. I have stuff off getting plated, so let me see what happens when it all comes back. I thought it was driver side.

as for that frame discussion, I would vote for dipping and e-coating. There's a place outside Milw that costs $1000. I had some items powdercoated years ago and just not happy with them. However, I did have some rims powdercoated, then I painted the correct color on the face and those came out nice. The powdercoating does add thickness to the parts and the rims always seem to stick on axle flanges and area on the front drums where the bearing go. These are the SSII on my W-31 if one is wondering. I just need to sand that opening in the rim down more, but without going all the way to bare metal.

the washer bottle is the same as all other 68/69, it's just bolted onto the other inner fender. I have a REAL nice one, but I compared it to the one off my W-31 and the mounting holes are larger. Yet there is no evidence of them ever having a screw installed to them. weird.

I can't help you on the shifter hump.

Boeshield is good stuff. I'm using it on the fuel tank in my GT-37. And on the brake lines on my truck since the salt is just eating the underside of it. This spring it gets new brake lines that are already coated. </div></div>

Thanks Chris

Keep me in mind as you search for parts you seem connected!!

I will do a sample piece or two when I decide on a powder coater to ensure we are on the same page.

Is the good washer fluid bottle on hold for my W-31 or yours? :-)

Imagine for a minute...... PSMCDR 20?? We can race our W-31's winner buys dinner!!
