Wild Willie is the best! He had shoulder surgery last fall and warned me it might be a while, about three months, but he may be getting caught up by now.
He doesn't do phosphate plating, do it before sending or after you get them back.

Any one car to comment on what i "think" is correct....the Hinge Pieces were Zinc Phosphated and then submerged in a Protective Oil, that makes them Dark...The
Rivets Holding the two Hinge Pieces were Manganese Phosphated (Almost Black) $ the Spring is Manganese Phosphate (also oiled) I believe that Zinc Phosphate hinges that are left unoiled are restored incorrect...... Below is SURVIVOR 73 Camaro Hinge NOS Spring on Left vs Zinc Phosphate on Right Zinc Phosphate (NO Oil) is Too Light IN Color Flame suit on................Fire Me Up

Used Brian Henderson a while back at Supercar Workshops, did a really nice job and was very reasonable. Don't know if he's still in that game.?
