If I were putting together a list of items to take to a Plating Company, is there a basic list that is typical for all 67 Mustangs that would include these types of finishes. Starting with Gold and or Yellow zinc and zinc dichromate but perhaps a list that can be expanded as more suggestions get confirmed.

I figure those who have restored many vehicles of certain model years already have a basic understanding of this, perhaps even a list they follow so I am hoping fellow restorers have already walked the road I am taking for the first time. I have a local company who is able to do the work but I am hoping to take only one or two different batches in since these items are more of a "batch-pricing" type of a thing.

I have interest in also seeking information on other zinc products, putting together a similar list (likely a different thread) including typical components (taillight housings and dash cluster, radio chassis or brackets and the likes, trunk latches and so forth...including bolts that are used across the 67 model year at all plants. Obviously, we have the unique bolts that differ depending options (or time frame/location)so I understand the list would not be COMPLETE because of this and we have the Library article that would help out on much of that hardware.

Just asking for a friend ;)

You could download the 67-68 Mustang Hardware spreadsheet (either one) and sort it by column "B" and then "A" which will give you a list by finish and part number.

Yes, this is part of the plan to use a copy of the spreadsheet (edited to my application for options) though it does not list all of the items to which I refer. Hoping to nail down those items too at the same type of finish when possible to prevent multiple trips to the plater.

I recommend that your next step is to go thru the assembly manuals page by page and make a list of items you believe need to be plated. All it takes is time.
