8/9/10

Restored and detailed the hi-po engine mounts. These were fun parts to restore and came out really nice. The upper brackets were blasted and tumbled. Lower bracket with the stud was a little more challenging. Blasted and tumbled them and then detailed the pressed in studs to a darker appearance than the bracket. After that, used a torch to heat the original welds so they looked like they were just done. Followed by a rubbing with steel wool and oil. Original long shafts were re-finished in phosphate and correct locking nuts used. NOS large insulators with C4ZA numbers molded in and original FoMoCo upper donut insulators used. To finish off, replicated yellow markings as found.
