Looks good, I am getting ready to do the same on my 68 GTO
Did you rivet in the Ball joint before or after painting?

I primed/painted after the ball joints and bushings were put in, good thing I did as there were quite a few marks on them from the machine shop.I can't see how the marks could be avoided,it's not that bad of a job to mask everything off.I used about a 80% gloss black on the arms as compared to 60% on the frame itself.The cross shafts were blasted,rinsed with metal prep then scuffed up with a red scotchbrite pad,I'll then coat them in boeshield to keep them from rusting.
