Completed Trailing Arms.
Brutus:
Here's a before and after pic of one of my trailing arms during the seam welding process. All that had been done to the original one was a clean and grit blast.
Now can anyone in their right mind say that the factory welds inspire confidence in the integral safety of these pieces?
Pretty after pics to follow.

Hi White Rider. about thermo fans... on a previous hot V8 torrie i had two 10" fans and it hovered around boiling point. with a bit of advice i've fitted a single 16" fan to my vette and with its stock 350 it works perfectly. a single large fan will move more air than two small ones. later cars (and vettes) have two fans and i'm assuming its to cover as much of a rectangular radiator's core as poss. but on a C3 with a squarer radiator a 16" fits really well and so is best choice. Spoke to steve from SR Performance and he definitely recommends one big mutha 16". I got an auto temp control system from AMERICAN AUTO PARTS along with a "painless" brand wiring kit. I went for a pre-set temp type (different fan "on" and "off" temp ranges are avail) over a variable type as more reliable and can be totally hidden (no temp bulb lines coming out of radiator hoses {which also can leak}). Cheers.
