I am finally starting the frame assembly. I installed the upper a-arms, upper bump stops and started plumbing the new brake lines. We bead blast and painted some of the original bolts that were in good shape. The motor mount bolts used a special carraige type bolt so I decided to clean them up and re-use them.
I am still waiting on a rear axle cover gasket. Since we opened it back up again I have ordered two more gaskets, both of them that I recieved were the wrong one. Very frustrating! Currently have another one ordered and keeping my fingers crossed.
I have a machinist working on some threaded bungs to repair the lower a-arms. Once I get them I will post an article on the repairs.
These are the original motor mount bolts. We painted them silver to duplicate the original plating.
The right side upper a-arm. The original bolts were used on this also. The upper bump stop is installed also.
Plumbing the brake lines to match the original. The motor mounts are installed too.
This is the new lower bump stop compared to the original.
