Early A Control Arms

How did you get them so clean? Media blasting? Acid dipping? Krylon?
Are you going to put the reinforment plates on the bottoms?

I had some Krylon chrome paint sittin on the shelf after cleaning them up; so I shot em just to keep the rust away. I knew they were gonna be layin around for a few months before I got my front end back together. As it turned out it was "years"
