Free Action

Seems like I've spent weeks grinding all the forging parting lines off the front control arms and rear links. I finally declared done, and mailed the bits off to Paul Newman for his Free Action Bearing kit to be installed in all the components. Rather than rubber or poly bushings, everything is now spherical bearings.

Here's the rear kit, plus the custom valved Bilstein shock and the lowering bolt for the rear spring - next to the shorter original bolt.

Front suspension has grease fittings on all the bearings. 

Here's the rear suspension all back together.

I've been busier than the body shop over the past couple months. In addition to disassembling the front and rear suspensions, and grinding off all the forging lines, I got the interior kit and transfered the stainless trim from the old door panels to the new ones. Eagleton's has a new owner, and seems like they're going to start moving forward again.
