yea just sand them and repaint. I used a primer then hammered gray. it sands easy and should hold paint very well.

BTW pics of Shawny Bs stuff probably tonight.

Mightymouz was asking about uppers for pinto spindles. Im not 100% sure yet and Im checking into it but... Im thinking the K772 screw in balljoint that fits many race car and street rod spindles also fits the pinto and mustang II taper. I will check this out further and get back to you all on it. In the mean time I will finish MMZs lowers first before starting any new uppers.

This means I have one extra set of uppers with S-10 balljoints.

As I suspedcted Mightymouz the pinto/mustang II balljoint has the same taper as a K772 moog screw in style balljoint. That means that I can make a very cool looking set of uppers for your truck. Ill start on them tomorrow with all the other stuff I have.

anyone needs a set with S-10 balljoints I have one ready to ship now. sale price is 175 shipped anywhere in the continental US

tomorrow Im building more lowers and finishing up some projects for some local guys and then next week I have a whole list of stuff to do.

Ill post updates as often as I can, peace

for you guys in here right now the sale price is 450 plus 26 bucks shipping in the lower 48

as soon as I get all the ones done that im working on and put the jigs up the price reverts back to whats on the website. they are 525 plus shipping on the site.

I should also have new pics up today of both versions of the lowers.

I may also add pics of the upper version with a screw in balljoint for the mustangII spindle.

Yes Kyle finally today. I had to change some things around. I also had an issue with my balljoint cups. They were tight as hell putting in the balljoints. Had a customer with some Toyota arms that the customer could not get the balljoints in. They had a small press and anyway I solved it. I make the balljoint cups bigger now and I press the balljoints in myself now.

drag truck guys arms=done
shawny Bs arms=done
kyles arms=done
Mightymouzs arms= not done.. lol

weird since he was the first one to want some.. The set I was gonna send Mightymouz are the ones going to Kyle. I was gonna try to make the bag and no bag arms the same but its much easier to make seperate ones.

so now I make Mightymouz some 1" shorter ones and a new upper set with screw in pinto/mustang II balljoints.

I did get all the tubes, cut, cleaned and bent. all I need to do now is weld it all together.

gotta make a Mazda lower set and a 4 link for a local guy then Ill get back on these.

look for more updates in a day or two.

Kyle yours are the original design. I just changed the balljoint cup. shawny bs are a little wider.

The good thing is that I can make them b oth on the same jig. same thing for the uppers. I can make either on the same jig. Im thinking giving people the option to use an s-10, toyota or mustang II spindle is also good. Im anxious to see how these look with a screw in balljoint. probably like my Isuzu or Nissan uppers.
