Sweet. I can't tell by the light but what color did you use? Oh, and I hope your happy, but your making it so I just can't put new bushings in everywhere to just go drive my car now.

Trailing arms are black, and the spindles are cast iron color.

You do nice work Pat. .....I bet your 62 is getting jealous with all the attention the new kid is getting.
Hard to believe when you look at them they're only a year apart huh?

Thanks Robbie!
And you're right...It's crazy how different the cars are.
If you did not use the original bolt, make sure the center bolt head in the rear spring is thin enough to fit up inside the rear housing without interference.
A few years ago I used a liner kit and new center bolt on a rear spring and the bolt head was so tall it would have cracked the rear housing when tighened.

Hey Tim,
Yea, I did have to replace the original pin/bolt.
The height wasn't the problem. The diameter of the bolt head wouldn't fit up into the housing. I just ground it into the "round" shape much like the original was.
The brake lines and fuel lines finally arrived, so I spent the day installing them.
Pretty amazed at how accurate the bends were. I had kept the old one's to compare, and the new ones were very close.
Broke out all the old clamps, sandblasted & cleaned. Then painted and prepared for installation.
They all turned out pretty good.
Motor is getting decked (while keeping the original number's pad), and all motor parts have arrived. All items getting balanced, and prepared for assembly.
