Suspension

The uni-body is done with paint and is back home.  Next step is to make the car a "roller" again so that we can move it around and install then engine. Once the drive train is installed we'll send it back to the shop for final panel fit and hood install.  We've been stuck a little here while the suspension parts were getting restored.  Falling behind on the getting the engine assembled too, just too many other things going on

.  Should be back on schedule again in a couple of weeks.  Front suspension is done with restoration, and looks amazing. Brake backing plates just got finished an are ready for paint.  The really amazing thing is that all of these parts have matching numbers, more on that in a later post.
Finishing up restoring/plating original hardware. I hung the coil springs and dipped.  Was amazing how this accurately recreated the look of the paint on the springs originally
 The pattern of drips and coverage were true to the first time these were dipped back in 1964.  Some pics of the restored front suspension and steering linkage.
