Build Day 60.....More Chassis Work

Went back to work on the chassis. Added two extra braces/triangulations. I also started looking at painting the front wishbones. The reason for this is that in order to position the brackets, I will need to temporarily attach the wishbones to the brackets when I offer them up to the chassis (to get the spacing right). For this I need to fit the bushes, and once on the bushes are very difficult to get off. So, if I paint the wishbones first, I can then fit and forget the bushes.

Anyway, I'm not sure quite yet what to paint the wishbones with. So I've started doing some tests with various paints on an off cut of steel. We'll see how this goes before I paint the wishbones for real.
