Looking For Help on Front End Finishes
I'm in the process of a complete engine compartment detailing/repainting as someone had sprayed everything (except the motor) gloss black sometime in the past. I stripped everything down to almost bear metal and went with POR-15 Chassis Black for the frame section and upper/lower CAs. I used Eastwood's Under Hood Black for the firewall. I need help on some front end component finishes. I'm installing new:
Upper/Lower CA bushings
Upper/Lower Ball Joints
Inner/Outer Tie Rod Ends
Center Link
Idler Arm
I found the tie rod, center link, idler arm and sway bar finishes but am having a hard time finding these:
Spindles (cast iron?)
Steering Arms (Chassis black?)
Caliper Brackets (Chassis black?)
Backing Plates (Steel or Aluminum?)
Steering Shaft (All black?)
The motor and trans will also be getting fresh paint and detailing.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Nice job so far. the Bushing you can go either way. If you are going for originality go with rubber. A little bit better handling go with Poly. if you going with the Poly lube the daylights out of them or you will have a sqeek that will drive you nuts. I believe the brake calipers should be bare metal or I would paint them cast. same with the Master Cylinder. a person you should really talk to is Kurt Karch. He is the go to person on the 69 H/O this is not a whole lot but I hope it help some.

Just got off my dead lazy Butt and went out and looked under my 69 H/O mine is not restored. Caliper Brackets-Black, Steering shaft-Black, Spindles-Black, Brake Backing Plates should be A Cadnium plate. That is what my car told me.
