How you can strip, clean and paint the chassis in such a short time is amazing. Its taken me two days just to strip the front end down, and I'm just about ready to degrease/derust it.
Might just clean the castings/forgings up with a bit of a polish then paint them instead of having them chromed - ideas

A bit of a turn up, the upper arms i bought are correct its the lower that are for a 57 chevy. Looking on Ebay i found a guy selling the lower one and he is in England. So the Le-mon shall have improved suspension and i'm all happy again. Anybody want to buy some 55 56 57 chevy lower tubular arms? Also my mate is coming today to continue the filling (well fingers crossed) Piece of piss this car building lark.
