Re: frame paint
x44d80, The correct upper bushings are available and I have them. They have already been delivered to the Corvette vendors months ago and the Camaro/Chevelle/Nova and other GM vendors should be getting them in a few months. They are not the cut down aftermarket ones that have been available for awhile. They are identical to the originals except the lettering is not on the end of the bushing that the washer covers up. You have to pay more royalties to have that done so it was not worth it to me. Send me an email or private message if you need a set.
As for painting the subframe the correct way you would probably be the first to do it the correct way. I have talked with a couple of the judges at GM Carlisle and have been told a car done that way will probably loose points for finish. They want to see the "over-restored" powdercoated frames and other misc pieces.
Now painting the control arms the correct way by dipping them is not that cost effective to do. Just hang them from the ball joint end and lay the paint on thick to get a few runs and sags.
I admire you for wanting to do a car that way in these days where "over-restored" is the norm............RatPack.......
