REBUILDING TRIKE SPINDLES / KNUCKLES

Started rebuilding the trike front spindles. I'm starting with  a used pair of Chevy Chevette front spindles. They were used and abused, but straight and true. Took the dust shields off and degreased them, then straightened up the dust shields. From there I cleaned them up with a wire wheel and grinder. Along with removing a lot of the casting lines. Next, etching primer was used to arrest any remaining rust in the pits. Followed with buildup primer. lastly I decided to used a Rustoleum Hammered finish paints, for the rust protection, and convenience/ availability for touch up later on.
