I wouldn't be ashamed of a work in progress 😀

3)spindles. I know phosphating not correct but is it the best compromise available?
More of a range than exact looking finish. How dark they were depended on how old (and dirty) the quenching oil was at the time. Not the only product but I like using gun bluing repair fluid that is also sold under the term metal darkening. Clean and get the metal darkened then remove the tint from the machined surfaces and the test spot on the inside surface of the spindle - reverse side to where the rotor and everything else will be added.

Have found a place that will phosphate parts for me and would appreciate advice/help on parts that I should have phosphated. I have used the search function but I'm 200 miles from the place so hopeful of getting everything I need done in one go.
So far I intend to phosphate finish
1)hood hinges and springs
2)hood latch
3)spindles. I know phosphating not correct but is it the best compromise available?
4)AC idler pully bracket
Also, for the pieces that have a natural finish is cast iron paint the way to go if I don't want to leave it susceptible to rust.
The car is undergoing a full resto, not looking to show for concours but am trying to be correct where I can.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Coming along nicely. Funny, it always takes longer than we think.
