The 86' has been up on blocks for a month now... I have been waiting for the snow to stop so that I may continue with what I set out to do! Tomorrow its more priming and painting (still gotta do the sway bar and the coils) and then Monday (Since its going to snow again!) The arms are off to the shop to get there new parts put in and the spindles and backing plates are off to the blaster to get stripped! Just thought I would share my progress with the group so I can keep motivated!

How or with what did you paint your control arms with?

They are just in primer in that pic I will post another with them done a little later they will be, Satin black It's all just a low budget rattle can Rustolium paint job the truck is going to be a driver so I didn't want to spend the coin on powder coating for the arms to just bounce off the ground and get all scrapped up it will look nice at least for a little while...
