Finished up the new trailing arms that match the turret location. All 0.125" 4130 chromoly, teflon lined spherical bearing, and 303 stainless spacers. We're thinking they need to get nickel plated because paint would hide the welds. Oh, and they weigh a pound less than stock.

That's pretty sexy..
You're worried about paint hiding the welds so you won't be able to spot a potential crack? Or do you think everyone should be getting a chubby looking at them?

Finally got to do some testing. All the new suspension parts work quite nicely. The 30 year old rubber parts did not fare quite as well. The car is balanced and easy to drive...just needs a better transmission and another 200hp
 Al was all grins when he got out of the car.
