Cool. I think you will be pleased with shocks after polishing. It's quite a bit of work but definitely worth it. I'd like to have some aluminum buggy rims too on at least ONE car someday...
Tell us about this Optima Mid...you might force me to restore mine.

Well...the Optima Mid could use bearings in the trans and hubs, as it has bushings. One half of the front bulkhead is damaged, so need one of those, as well as wheels/tires and a body.
Overall though, it's in good shape....started cleaniong and reassembling with all SS hardware.
