Did the plating shop talk to you about hydrogen embrittlement? Chroming something like a sway bar could result in a surpising failure at a bad moment.

 

No they didn't. Would you enlighten me... :shock:

 

interesting http://www.nmfrc.org/crarchive/feb02a.cfm

 

I do recall something about performing the embrittlement relief bake at 375 degrees...

 

Besides the metallography issues,
here you go...

 

That's pretty sweet. Looks really good. Too bad our stupid gas tank hangs so low so it would be easier to show stuff like that off to someone driving behind you.

 

Strange how its different strokes for different folks. I don't like to see all that undercarriage and the rear of the mufflers so I sprayed them with BBQ grill flat black paint.

 

Did you BBQ paint your differential cover... since that also shows ?

 

NO car is lowered so you cannot see it.

Actually thats not the gas tank...the black thing under the trunk looks like it holds the vapor canister and a BUNCH of vent plumbing...gastanks way up under rear seats, with a hump the driveshaft passes thru.

 

What was the cost of doing that sway bar? Looks good!!

 

Looks really good, nice touch for a car show. I got to do some work under the hood though. It is really ugly under there.
