Re: [DML] What parts are (nearly) impossible to get

["alex morgan" <mauibarber@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

That is good news.  When I owned mine, lower ball joints and front control 
arms were GOLD.  I paid $700 for a remade control arm.  And ball joints were 
like $75 a piece.  I see now they are much cheaper and available.  Nobody 
touched on my second question.  How possible is it to remake fenders and 
torsion bars (probably the two most difficult and expensive parts to find).  
I would think the fenders wouldnt be that hard.  Once you have a mold for 
them and you knew the grit and grade of the S.S.  What would it take to make 
torsion bars?  Do they have to be frozen to work?  Could a none twisted and 
frozen bar work as well?  I dont know the physics well enough to know the 
answer,
Alex
