Not bad from this distance but take a look at the next picture which is a close up of the same arm.

Theses are “C” code arms. If you look at the top of the upper arms you will see the “C” stamped into the arm. If you look at the bottom side of the lower arms, again, you will see the “C” stamped into the arm (this stamp is light, but there). They are interchangeable with all 1964 thru 1972 GM A_Body cars. But are sought after by people that are doing concourse cars.

Again, this complete set of photos were sent to the customer so that he is keep informed of the progress and condition of the arms so that there are no surprises at the end.
