66 Dart GT HT Whatsitgonnabe?
I have been following his thread too. I think those parts were powdercoated. Btw not sure if you are or not, but if your replacing the upper ball joints, id recommend a few tack welds from the edge of the joint to the control arm after you thread new ones in, to keep em from popping out. This seems to be a problem with older upper A arms that may have had multiple joints replaced, and even with new aftermarket A arms. 2 to 4 tacks per joint seems to do the trick.
