I'm going to clean up the bars. If there is no severe pitting, then I'll keep them.
I still need to get that crossmember off. I may get a small propane torch to try and heat the bolt. |

Oh for pity sake........you said the 'fire' word.
Now how am I supposed to enjoy 18 holes of golf this afternoon if I think Rusty is going to set himself on fire??? I'd already had to deal with the guilt of thinking of him toiling in the hot sun doing something with a crossmember while I was enjoying a cool refreshing adult beverage and enjoying the cool breeze of a golf cart. I suggested the other day that he change his hobby to 'RIDING in antique roadsters' rather than restoring antique roadsters. It just seems like a lot less work. -Pam aka NASCAR loving Toolwench |

This was my winter project that is just getting completed! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) It's amazing how these projects grow/change/mutate.

Pam,
After you have finished torturing yourself on the golf course, stop at your local hardware store and see if they have one of those portable garages/awnings for Rusty. That way he won’t be baking in the mid day sun. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

I got the front struts bead blasted. Took me over two hours to get them good and clean. This included a solvent bath to get all the grease and oil off of them.
Total cost = 8 bucks. I forgot to bring the brake shields in. I'll do those tomorrow with the A-arms. I still need to get the front bushings off. Do you think they can be removed with a press, rather than burning? (To pacify the Toolwench, of course.) |

The front ones burn out easy. And it's kinda fun. The back ones don't. I'd torch the fronts and press the rears.
