Another Day, Another Little Bit More Bling for Dino

[Jason Edge]

Today, I installed a power steering pump cap and dipstick I had cad plated. Since this gets handled and apt to get banged around a little from use I actually clear coated the cap with Rustoleum Clear Engine Enamel. Gives it more sheen but tends to take away a bit of the "rainbow" coloring but I am still very pleased.

Here is a picture:

Looking good! How far are you away from getting all the cadmium parts in your engine bay finished?

I have replaced most of it, and most of it I haven't replaced I have had plated and sitting in my trunk. These include some of the upper and lower control bolts, nuts, washers, shock bolts, washers & nuts, suspension bolts such as idler arm steering gear tie strut. There is still some new stuff to plate. For example tie rod adjustment sleeves and bolts went in with this last 8th batch I just dropped off. So back to Dino, some of the non-engine compartment items I need to install are items like fender bracket fasteners, fender skirt brackets, brake and gas and vacuum line clamps, etc..  There are also some of those smaller grill parts and fasteners to install and post for sale. To completely go through the grills and extensions will take some time... for both 63 & 64.  Hope to get everything ready to install on Dino, in stalled by spring!
