I'm looking for a place to buy upper and lower tubular control arm,without breaking the bank.Also I have a 67 GTO and the rear bushing on the lower is oval.Can I use a control arm with round bushing.

I'm guessing you are refering to the front?
The tubular arms on my car are from http://www.trzmotorsports.com/ .
I don't know about your bank but these arms are $900 for the four.
They are designed for drag racing by reducing weight. I'm not sure if they are ok for a street car or pro touring type car, although I use mine on the street.
Global West makes arms too.
Changing the lower arms to a round bushing will work.

I have a set of upper I'll sell...I installed but never run. I also have a set of boxed lower with poly bushings...again installed but never run. I have the pattern of the metal plates the mount to the housing...drawn in AutoCad....exact pattern of orginals...sell all for $250.00 plus shipping.

Thanks

P.S. I'll be on vacation until Aug. 7th if you are interested.
