Is there ANYTHING on my car taht is PURE Zinc, elemental Zinc, tahts what i need for my chemistry project, thanks.

 

i'll say not not pure zinc, but i'd look at the carb, door handles, window crank, and assorted *****

 

You can use 1982 and higher pennys, just grind off the copper plating and the rest is pure zinc.

 

Is this project for school or something else? 'Cause I wouldn't rip my car apart for a school assignment!

 

...a mechanical fuel pump housing, wiper motor housing, cruise control base, headlight motor housings and linkage arms, wiper arm bases, belt tensioner housing, etc. There used to be a lot more, before the advent of "structural plastic".

 

You might try a boating store if there's one around you. Zinc is used on prop shafts to act as a doner material when electrolisis occurs. They need to be replaced on a regular basis.

 

Anything that has a galvanized coating will have high zinc content on the surface.

This post reminds me of the Simpson's episode....

'Come back Zinc!'
