I've been doing the same thing for years with the cast blast as well. I seemed to think you got better results with the high heat version
over the regular stuff. I've had people ask me where I sent them to get the job done. It's a cheap way to do it, but if you want the perfect car and you can afford it, take Brian up on his offer.

I agree Pete, sent my stuff to Brian who was putting a batch together to get sent out, came back beautiful. It also depends on the level of resto that you are doing on the car, time restrictions, $$'s, ect...

Another great source on the west coast is Steve Gregori at
http://www.brakeboosters.com

He always does a great job, quick turnaround and is reasonably priced.

I just got off the Phone with Vernon Owens in Greenville S.C... I have been using his Phosphating solution for years. It is easy to use and is cheap. 1 quart makes about 8 gallons. Cost is 20.50 for a quart plus shipping. You basically pour some in water in a pan and boil it on the stove or Bar-b-que. Dump clean glass beaded bolts or whatever in and stir. The longer you leave it in the darker the phosphate finish. I told Vernon to stop by the site and chime in if he wants. His # is 864-246-3836. I have a pile of extra bolts that I plated just to have if needed.

Charley, is this a similar solution to Eastwoods green colored Black zinc as I would assume thats the color you are plating your bolts? If so, you get a lot more bang for the buck.

I will definately give him a call. Can you e-mail me his e-mail address? Thanks

I didn't know that Mike Gray did phosphate. From what he says, He restores Yenko's BETTER then anyone else. From what he says. But I don't recall him ever restoring a REAL Yenko yet to my knowledge. Mayor of fishkill.
