No, it just needs to be welded on the outside of the bushings too. My tig guy is in vacation and it will be done when I take the car apart for paint.
I dipped in cold water after the red glow went away. The chrome moly does not change much its torsion rating. The anti-roll bar is a 1 inch 0.187 inch - [/quote]

The frame will be powder coated. Some of the smaller parts like the last fabricated A-Arms will be painted.
I’m still contemplating what color I will use on the parts. Frame, silver or black? Moving parts, silver, black, red, blue? This will be spontaneous decision when I bring the frame to the coater. I have 10 things on my to do list and after that she will be taken apart and the frame sent of to the coater. That will be happen within two weeks.

Stay tuned for updates….
