Hi all,
Well, I'm getting ready to fit the body (next year) and thought I should look at the hood and trunk hinges because perhaps they need to be painted. Just a glance and thought they must be bare steel. So, I went to the store and bought some Self-Etching primer and gloss black paint. Took the hinges out of the bag and oh, maybe they are not bare steel. Checked with a magnet and sure enough, not steel. Hmm, must be aluminum. Back to the store to get some Mother's Aluminum polish to make them purdy. Oops, don't feel like aluminum and they ring when dropped. Perhaps they are $tainless $teel? Wow, back to the store. They sure are goin to look purdy. Need to de-burr the laser burns, sand and polish.
Now I know what I will be doing these long, cold winter days in Florida.
Love the forum!
Jeff
