1957 Chevy truck re-rebuild

[Stepside Jim]

I had to take care of a small area that is seen but doesn't get much respect.

For those who have the Camaro clip, it's the upper control arm washers.


I know if I paint them I will chip them when the nuts are tightened up against them.

I must solve this problem.... Once again, stainless to the rescue.

Cutting the 4 blanks.


Back to the press to get the cone shape.


Then to the lathe to drill the 5/8" hole.


Then some 1500 grit paper prior to polishing.


Then to the drill press with a buffing wheel attached.


Oh my, what an improvement.


Look closely and you can see the ceiling fan blades spinning in the polished one.


I ordered some stainless locking nuts so this area should be done for years to come.
