Default Re: Dust Covers

Love to see some pics...I've had to bow out on restoring mine. I finally got a good contour and a decent nipple and burned thru a edge during the final polish. Time to practice on the repro when they arrive. My plan is to remove the zinc, polish the steel and age them to about a 30k mi look. Thinking slow heat and a oil bath, clean old steel. Guess I may need to stretch them a bit too if the fit too loose. I think I have a die for that...Thanks for everyones input, I'll post up some pics after they arrive.

I sent some pictures to Chris of near NOS factory dust shields from a '69Z with the AI paper sticker. I can post some pics of a low mile '70 Trans Am with the plated shields, the small crystals are visible. On most of the original low mile cars the dust shields are never really seem to be rusted, maybe a bit darker grey in color compared to the surface rust colored suspension components.
