On a separate note I got the quote back for blasting and powder coating. $700 for blasting plus another $900 for coating for a total of $1600 for the frame front crossmember and rear axle housing. That seems really expensive to me but I also don't have any basis or idea what others have paid or if my area has anything to do with the price. There's a couple other places I'm going to call and see what they say as well even though they are a bit further away.

Don't pinch the tabs or.... Pinch them in enough so they're square if they are tweaked outward. The compression on the bushing needs to be square w/the face of the bushing so washers/spacers can accommodate that need.

The blast/PC price quote seems high but it could be a 'location' thing. Shop around to get your answer & seek out other enthusiasts in your area to see if you can find a recommended source.
