thanks for the comment. If I was using Chromoly, I would agree. I don't know enough to make that call. But I will be asking for advice on this from people who know metal far better than I. All I can say for sure is there must be a reason the originals came as aluminum. And if I follow how the originals were built, no one can blame me for not making the best effort in keeping it safe or re engineering something I know nothing about. The other thing is rust factor. And that may be the only reason for using aluminum.
We will see what my research finds when that comes. At this time, I am just looking to get the car back on the ground with the OEM setup so I can move it around the yard and into its new winter home. I will get pictures of that soon. Hopefully end of this holiday weekend.
