Re: 1972 Shop Truck Build (with some extra goodies)

Weekly update time! Check out video #3: https://youtu.be/LLEOOcOlYgE

In the video, I do a rust 'patch' on the cowl seam. Not a replacement at all, but some mitigation to get me by for a while. I also show a great little upgrade to my parts washer (Harbor Freight) that I highly recommend if you have a few extra bucks, and hate the pathetic flow of the included pump that comes with those ~$100 parts washers.

Then I move on to cleaning and painting the front suspension components, as well as ball joint replacement on both upper and lower control arms. It's all pretty easy DIY stuff that you can do in your home garage. (if you don't have a small press, then maybe a buddy's garage. lol)

I don't have any pics from this timeframe, so you'll have to watch the video.
