then I had to do something different so I decided to start wire wheeling the door hinges

I am 71% convinced, GM didn't discover other colors than lime green until 1987

Man I just can't tell if these eBay special dust shields are coated with something or just raw, so I think I need to powder coat them, I highly doubt they be chrome

what the H, this is the only piece that has failed me so far, and I cleaned it with the same Wax n Grease remover before powderizing it like it's twin and all the other pieces I done did already, and I tried powder coating it twice already too and it still failed, again

Seeing parts made in USA puts me in a good Moog. Unlike my recent front brake job. :o
