I'm builing a '66 Chevelle SS 396 to Pro Touring lines that will be driven extensively on the street. It will have stock exterior and interior, with upgraded motor, transmission, and air ride suspension. I pretty much know what I want but I just did something I thought I would ask some opinions on. The frame up just started.
Frame powdercoated, tubular a-arms on, just mounted spindles and caliper brackets. I painted all the tie rods and steering arms. Only after everinthing is tied down I noticed the bare metal of the new spindles. I know there will not be much to see underneath when the car is finished but eventually they will rust. I have several options and thought I would get some input. First, I can just leave them alone, they should look nice a year or two. Second, I could touch them up with a brush, that would protect them a little. Third, I could spray some clear on them, that might help a couple years and it would also help keep nuts and cotter pins looking nice. Fourth, I could spray everything with a silicone oil to keep it looking nice for a little longer. Any Ideas?
