67 - C6 shift rod finish
« on: June 10, 2019, 12:11:07 AM »
I am not having any luck looking for the proper finish for the C6 shift rod for a 1967 San Jose built mustang.  Can anyone help with this and the hardware?  Any information is appreciated.   Thank you .

+1 Should look like new steel. So media blasting as a final look isn't what your looking for ;)

To add, tumbling in steel shot after media blasting should get a close approximation of the needed new steel finish.
