A little eye candy

Well I was in the middle of swapping my rear drums out for LS1 Disks so I did a bit of touch up.

1. powder coated the rear swaybar candy red. Also pc'ed brake stuff.

2. pc diff cover and bolts.

3. Added poly graphite rear sway bushings and made them greasable and LE1 nylon rear sway bar links.

I thought you didn't have to grease poly graphite bushings.

Poly graphite are much better at resisting squeeking, however, not immune. I'd rather have it available then having to rip it down to re-grease.

Yes, blasted the sway bar and pc it. I have WS6 24mm rear. At this point I am happy with its size.

Yes every thing that is red is pc'ed.

Excellent job.

I look at these pictures in envy. Not so much the parts, but the condition underneath. Where I live the salt concentration is so high in the air, if you put a car in a bag and unsealed it now it still wouldn’t look as clean, or new as your does underneath.

Nice job. The red against the light colored cover looks pretty good.

I have the same problem here. When I changed my water pump I put about 10 coats of high temp paint on it. Before I even got to take it out the first time, it was pretty rusted.
