Re: 64 SC Beater

The last year did not see a lot of progress on the 64 SC specifically, but I built a new garage with 4-post lift and lots of cabinets to hold parts. It is nearly done, cabinet trim and cabinet doors and the final inspection are all that remain), then I will start organizing all the parts now in boxes and spread around. Now the 64 has a perch above the action in the garage and walking under it every day gets my thoughts back to where they should be, and hopefully progress will be more rapid this year (although maybe not; I just pulled plans to build a guest house and I have some furniture to make that I promised my wife...). I just sent a bunch of parts to be powder-coated (including axle tubes and brake backing plates), but I was not sure about these parts:
rear spring plates
rear heater valves
Were spring plates originally painted, or were they bare steel with just a heavy wax coating? Were the rear heater valves painted or zinc plated and undercoated or ?? Were the clamps painted or plated?
