Alrighty gents,

I got the arm back from the shop, all nice and rebuilt. They charged me $225 for parts+labor. They were pretty easy on the labor aspect, only charged $70.

My cousin is up from Georgia and she brought her Canon EOS Rebel XTi with her....

PICS OF EVERYTHING!

First I cleaned the metal with the painting prep stuff (Eastwood Pre) to make sure that anything I applied had a good bonding with the metal.







Then I am applying three coats of rust encapsulator to both sides of the arm:






Then, two coats of heavy duty chassis paint (Eastwood Extreme Chassis Black)
[pics later]

Then maybe two coats of rubberized undercoating (not really sure about this one yet, havent decided)
