Default 1978 suspension rebuild
Lost my job as a mechanic last week.. Laid off do to business being slow. So I have been picking up side work to make ends meet. This 78 I am doing a complete suspension rebuild for a customer. Here are some pics of the control arms I redid. He Wanted them painted flat black. Should be finished today.

I used all Moog parts because I have good luck with them.
