Title: 69 GT350 1-8-69 build date. P/S Valve body finishes
Post by: SChatman on December 11, 2021, 12:55:58 AM

Can anyone tell me what the finishes are for the Power Steering Valvebody? Mine was painted and as I'm rebuilding it I'd like for it to look original. I've looked on this forum and also the Concours Mustang site and if this question was asked and answered, I didn't find it so I would appreciate any help.
Thank you

Mr. Gaines, you have amazed me once again with your intense level of knowledge about Shelby resto stuff.

I read my wife what you wrote and she literally said "Holy Sh!t."
