My son and I are building our own suspension parts for a Pantera using Corvette uprights. We built our own tubing bender and made the upper and lower "A" arms out of 4130 tubing welded to some mild steel components (the ball joint mounting at the end, some gussets, the coil over shock moun...

Grey tungsten is manufacturer specified alloys, so it isn't guaranteed to be great for aluminum. Put a #10 cup on...
