Good morning, im restoring my 67 GTX and trying to do the best that i can, heres my question... im trying to keep all the hardware original as possible. im talking about nuts ,bolts, screws and stuff like that, most of my hardware is rough and in need of re-plating, zinc plating i believe, where can i send these small parts to get re-plated ? can someone recommend a vendor for a small batch of hardware... thank you in advance.. Rich

Hard to say now, with all the shutdowns. Some may not make it back

Most of the hardware is phosphate. Anything electrical is typically clear zinc.

If you can boil water you can do phosphate at home.
Blast them

There is a guy on moparts but I can’t recall his name, could search for it later. He does it in his garage I believe and is reasonable

69, is that clear zinc batch that you showed in the picture considered bright or dull finish ?
