Finished a few parts off the fronts suspension for my Oct 64 SJ Fastback. I think the spring, strut rod, and steering stop finishes look pretty good. I was wondering if the caliper bracket came out too dark? It is supposed to be oil quenched I believe, like the spindle. Many spindles I see on finished cars look like they are painted with Eastwood's Detail Gray. From what I understand from this forum, original tie rods, link rods, spindles, etc were darker like this. Thoughts?
Bracket on the left in 2nd pic is the finished product. Machined surfaces have not been cleaned up yet, just getting opinions on the finish.
Thanks,
Rich
