Then I'll have the frame media blasted and powder coated or paint with POR or equivalent, I'm leaning to POR at this time.
I'd appreciate hearing the pro's and con's of this plan as I have no first hand experience with those components.
I'll also have for sale a relatively new stock steering box, upper and lower control arms, cross member, Wilwood 4 piston calipers, pads, hubs, and rotors, and Hotchkis lowered big-block springs. I'll have more details when I get it disassembled since I received the subframe a couple hours before I left town on Thursday.

One possible deviation to this plan would be using SPC upper arms instead of SpeedTech. Would the adjustability the SPC's offer be worthwhile?
