Hello All,

Just wanted to say thanks for all the tips. Made some real progress over the weekend. Last week I took the front suspension apart and got it all painted with POR-15 (control arms, springs, etc). Then I got out the engine cleaner and cleaned up the cross member (which cleaned up great...a few inches of oil and crud is a great paint protector). I repainted it to give it some further protection. Then had some fun putting in the suspension bushings (got the 1/2 poly set up from IPD (no affiliation), it is all back together. The lower arm bushings are no fun, but I found a shop that was willing to put them in...not perfectly straight, but in the end, the arms bolted right up, so they must have been OK.

So, other than finishing my back 1/4 panels, I'm ready for the road!!

Cheers,
Craig
