Front Spindles, Steering Knuckles, Caliper Brackets, and Dust Shields. Boy are they yucky.
This side too.
They do clean up nice. I can do the same for you. CLICK HERE
Parts to be installed on the right side.
Should be front suspension on this frame soon.
Come on, we have to get this spring compressed in order for it to fit up into the frame. What is the problem it is just a small spring.
Do you what to help. Stand on the frame so we can get the spring compressed so I can start the bolt on the ball joint.
whow, look at that. I have suspension on the left side of the car. It might actually sit on four tires pretty soon.
Ok, lets discuss the next step, lets take a break.
Well the directions said to insert tab A into slot B but it does not fit.
See I told you it was time for a break.
Right side suspension, upper and lower control arms, spindle, steering knuckle, caliper bracket, rotor, caliper, spring and shock all installed. I guess the directions were right, you insert tab A into slot B.
Left side suspension, upper and lower control arms, spindle, steering knuckle, caliper bracket, rotor, caliper, spring and shock all installed.
Left side again.
Sure is pretty if I do say so myself. To bad no one will ever see it.
Ugly master cylinder.
I purchased this master cylinder from Classic Brake Rebuilders of Massachusetts. I have been talking with John. Their e-mail address is jsg11162@msn.com. My understanding is they are not a walk in shop and only deal through e-mail. If you have a problem they will release a phone number to you to talk you through the problem. Good People! They can get date code specific / correct master Cylinders for your project. The only thing I did to this one before installing it was clear coat it.
Brake lines were purchased through In Line Tube, I really was not very happy with them. They seem to have the attitude that they have “made it” and do not want to be deal with the questions from a do it yourselfer.
I keep coming across really ugly parts and having to clean them up (steering linkage).
Glass Beaded and painted (new tie rod ends etc.)
Looks a little different and ready to go onto the car.
On the car.
All the steering linkage, and the sway bar are bolted up. A rough alignment was done with a tape measure. Will get it done right before it goes down the road.
