Metal Plating?

[Dunkin]

What type of plating was used for the hood locks, hood lock bell crank, & rods, hood support, accelerator linkage and the trunk hinges? Thanks.

Most of the pieces you mention were cadmium plated.    I've found a very good place for CAD plating in the Chicago area.  Look up Grove Plating in Fox River Grove, Illinois.   They usually charge now about $85 for a bucket of miscellaneous   parts.  Some larger parts are prices individually.  It helps if you can clean all the parts first by bead blasting and cleaning up with a wire wheel.   

Either ship the bucket or large sturdy box to them, or if you're anywhere in northern Illinois, even within a couple hundred miles, it's usually worthwhile to drive there with your boxes and parts, and let them ship them back to you, one way.

Thank you for your information, I live in Texas I will see if anyone can do it locally.

You might consider doing a flat silver powder coat also.

They do not do CADMIUM plating. What you had done was bright ZINC plating a totally different metal. CADMIUM is no longer legal due to toxicity of the chemicals.

Yes, I was thinking that it was banned, I will have to see what I can find down here. Thanks.
