Help!! Somewhere recently while perusing one or another of my Model A reference books I came across a very nice table of finishes for all kinds of parts - both painted and I think hardware also. Foolishly I didn't mark it for future reference! And now I need to find it! I've tried looking through all my books with no luck. Can anyone tell me where it is? I thought it would be in the Judging Standards, but if it's there it sure hides well! Thanks!!

Look at page 1-18 of the Standards.

Great! Thanks! That's just what I was looking for! I must be blind!

I'm trying to find out how the (5?) screws holding on the dash rail should be finished. Nickle plate? Chrome? Painted same color as dash rail? Also, same question about the screws on the front fenders where they come down to the front frame horns and splash shield?

OK, I found the answer to the fender question on page 13-9 of the Standards. Still need to know about the dash.

Mick Isbell's hardware book shows the instrument panel screws to be nickel plated. The dash rail screws in my car appear to be the same - but it's not a points car.
