Default Re: Suspension upgrade Qs for '65 coupe

In addition to the questions above, should I prep the sway bars by sanding or priming at all if I want the paint to last? Also, all I saw was high and semi-gloss. What I should be getting for a stock look is flat black right, or is it the semi-gloss? I assumed flat black but they didn't have any.

I tried to find anti-seize grease at Kragen's, but all I saw was the regular grease and synthetic grease. Nothing on the packages said anything about polyurethane bushings or anti-seize. I was going to start the rear suspension today, but I'm still not quite sure what to use and I want to do this right the first time.

Speaking to an MCA judge, they say the sway bar should be gold zinc plated. It's just the way they come!

Hello, Jay. Sorry about that pm the other day. I had no clue who you were, and just assumed that you were one of many folks that have been spamming me lately. I apologize for being harsh.

I never knew that the sway bars came zinc plated. All this time I was thinking they were supposed to be flat black. I really need to find a book on this, but every time I visit Barnes & Noble I can never find a good one.

No problem my friend...

This site does get an extreem amount of spam for some reason. I think the moderators should be a little more aggressive...

Any thing I can do to help in your build let me know...

FYI If you join the MCA, the rules for concourse cars are made available to active members...

Thanks again

Jay
