Re: Project 67
Done some more POR 15 painting on the upper n lower A arms. Installed the two new upper ball joints. Discovered the condition of the driver's upper ball joint wasn't what is appeared. Hit it once with a hammer and it seperated in the middle. Good thing I had planned to replace it as it was going to fail soon anyway. All the ball joints appear original. Done the grinding on the upper ones to remove the factory rivets. Also test fitted the passenger upper bag plate that fits on the engine cradle cross member using grade 8 hardware. After locating a couple of 3/4 to 1/2 adapters for the 90 degree air fittings is all that is left on the passenger side to reinstall it and 2 1/2 drop spindles. The drivers side lower ball joint is the only hold up on it. Next task to is changing the rear end from 6 lug to five.
