Things are slowly coming together, I'll soon have the suspension complete and put the wheels on the chassis. I'll probably take a few pics later today with the suspension complete.
I finally finished the LCA's, and pretty happy with the result. I used a reinforcement ring from Dgo, I really like it. My welds have a few rough spots, but overall looks good. I'm really jazzed about how much sturdier they are now. I'm sure there are other types of failures the reinforcement plates don't address, but I really feel they're sufficient now.
I've been using a gun metal color on a few parts, it looks good against the yellow chromium and black.

Very nice looking stuff.
When you box the control arms, do you put drain holes in the lowest part? Is it completely sealed? Otherwise, I think it will rust from the inside. If it is sealed, you should "oil" the inside. Just drill a 1/8" hole and pour a small amount of linseed oil in. Then weld up the hole. After it cools, rotate the part several times to allow the oil to coat the inside. This is standard procedure for aircfart frames. It makes a big differnce.
