Last Horrah

I think today is the last shop time I get until I return from Africa late next month. I pulled the dog bones and links on the rear suspension, and started removing the front suspension. I had hoped to get it all off so I could ship it to Paul Newman to get it fitted for spherical bearings. Unfortunately, the front suspension is taking about 3 times as long to tear down. I was one bolt from removing the left front lower control arm, when I found that I installed the bolt before installing the suspension cradle in the frame - the bolt doesn't come out, nor does the control arm. I started sanding the parting lines off all the forged components. I don't think I'll go as far as polishing everything, but I do want to remove all the rough edges.

I stopped by Eagleton this week, and it looked like they might be getting ready to start on it. :-)
