'69 Swinger 340's k-frame coming along
The washers are on according to specs but in reality I am not sure if I like them that way as the originals were opposite. I still have the originals washers but would you believe my parts car that was untouched had its factory washers cup side out?! Thanks for all the compliments, its turning out pretty nice.
As for the cosmoline look. I searched all over online for pics of examples and took a good quality pic with me to the local paint store and found an auto paint to match. What I actually used is a cough cough...GM color, I believe its called fawn or something. I have the can at home. It went on somewhat seethru (candyish) and turned out pretty well. I hung the LCA's up and taped off approx where they would have stopped the factory dip and sprayed them. I removed the tape immediately after spraying so the line would smooth out and not looked so "taped".
