I phosphate right in the shop. You only need the solution at temp to do it, after the parts are cleaned.

These smaller restorations are just the bread and butter of a project.

Sourced a decent floor shift column from another 69. This piece is a series of small restorations like the neutral safety switch mounted to the column. Not sure what others do but I break all these smaller items down, clean, restore and reassemble. Column all layed out after alot of bead blasting and clearing, phosphating and painting. Found it so odd one of the metal pieces internal to the column was blue on one side and bare steel on the other.

In some upcoming photos im already recreating the column sticker on some software I used in my younger years. For my dad back in the early 2000s i recreated every decal on his yenko chevelle. Reminds me of my early days and passion for restoring things.

Had to order a few items like a new turn signal handle and a lower bearing.
