Took Summit quite a while to get them in, but they appeared at my doorstep in time for Christmas. I have to say, they look FANTASTIC. Yes they have the curve already in. I have not tried to actually fit them. Will report back when I do.

Good question Namerow. I had two sources, the first an online hot-rodding site, the name of which I have forgotten. Being an on-line source, where everyone is an expert, I also went to a neighbour who is the owner of three autobody shops and has a personal collection of 14 (his wife thinks it's more) hot rods, antiques, customs, you name it. His explanation to me was that the two-part epoxy would adhere better to a scratched surface, and that the scratches would not show once primered and painted. The on-line source said use 60 grit while neighbour Dave suggested 80. As an aside I will also mention that Dave decorates three or four of his cars with Xmas lights every year and parks them in the front yard. Photos attached. Some evenings traffic gets pretty busy on our street.

Looking nice! I cant recall if there were one or two washers on mine, I think just one. Pretty certain nothing goes on the outside.

Made some good progress today even after wasting a lot of time trying to plate some stuff. Insulators and gaskets on Added an SS plate that takes care of the carb springs that came from Zcardepot. Carbs are on. I can't locate all the linkage yet. I took an extra balance tube I had and bead blasted for an interim solution I reworked the back brake lines. I had an interference Ended up with this Here is the final rear sway bar setup. At least for now... 😉 Do both of the washers go inside the yoke with the spring?

So I took out the rear spring and ran the swing arm through the arc to check for interference's. The brake line was hitting the adapter plates for my CV axles. So I rerouted the line over the top of the parking brake. This is what I ended up with.

That's fun!! Gotta love cool neighbors who are car people

I was trying to do some plating and not getting good results. So I checked the resistance on my leads. The hot leads had decent high resistance, So I redid them and used stainless clips. I also put my ground directly to the copper stringer wires. The plating did improve. I am still having some challenges with brightener. It helps but too much causes blistering, Still working on the solution

I would expect this would work, too. https://www.amazon.com/Exhaust-Standard-Reinforced-Temperature-Accessories/dp/B0CTY91BNB
