Loads of wire wheeling, sand blasting, scraping, degreasing, priming and painting over the last few weeks.
Tore down and painted all the leaf springs. Had to have two new top spring for the rear fabricated. The eye was to worn out for the new bushings. New spring pins and shackles for front and rear.
Got all the steering parts cleaned up and painted as well as all the brake backing plates and suspension parts. New tie rod ends and drag link. The new drag link is substantially heaver than the stock one.
Decided to go with silver for the brake drums, hubs and hub caps to break up all the black. Fellow bolter 78buckshot had silver hub caps on his 57 LCF that looked pretty sharp, I just took it a step further.
Once I get the front axle back from the shop installing the king pins I can finally start putting things back together.
