65 Dart Wagon Conversion to a Sedan Delivery
Got sidetracked again! I came across a thread concerning LCAs and cosmoline where this member used shellac to duplicate the look of cosmoline. Another member mentioned he used cosmoline from a company called Cosmoline Direct. Then I remembered I had a set of LCAs that I bought from another member a long time ago and had them drop shipped to Leanna @CudaChick1968 to do in Alien Silver which was to duplicate the look of fresh metal. Remember them Leanna? It’s been a long time ago!
Anyway, that cosmoline thread made me decide I should use the ones Leanna did for me instead of the black painted ones I was going to use as pictured in my sway bar part of my resto. The Alien Silver wasn’t the quite right color so I hit them with some Eastwood spray gray.
I ordered a spray can of the amber cosmoline which arrived in due course.
I gave both control arms a couple of light coats, letting them dry overnight. Gave them another light coat and let dry. After adding the rebound bumper, they weee ready to install to the K frame. I am happy on how they’ve turned out.
I disassembled everything on the K frame that I previously installed and loosely installed the new and improved, cosmoline protected LCAs, sway bar end links and adjustable strut rods. Everything will be torqued to specs when the car is on all 4 wheels.
