Where did you get the yellow dichromate done? Those pieces look really nice. Was wondering about the transmission to engine braces - originals I'm seen were painted black. Were your originals dichromated?
I did some good cleaning on them before I did the glass beading and yes they were yellow dichromated. I'm not sure on cars assembled at St Louis and Detroit built cars but LA cars seems to have it. Have you checked yours? I will check mine on the 270 4dr sedan. It can be different procedure between plants or changes in procedures during production year.
