Torque Restorations 73 Convertible Build Thread

since there seems to be some confusion as to how these zinc blocks work i'll just add a little science for the thread's sake. There is a type of corrosion called galvanic where two differing metals touch (and electrons can flow freely between them). The more reactive of the two metals takes most/all of the corrosion.
In essence the two differing metals become an anode and a cathode, the anode would be the zinc block and would take the beating.
Easy way to remember: "galvanized" (zinc plated) hardware prevents galvanic corrosion

Back from the dead with a snazzy new website and a bigger, better shop in Hartville! Did another Mustang (65), and have what I guess qualifies as a Ford in the shop... 39 Lincoln Zephyr...WHAAAAA! Click below to check it out.
