1969 Dart GT Convertible

Well I finished sanding and buffing the car, with the exception of the hood scoops. Looks phenomenal. In the down time of sanding and buffing, I've been able to gather all the parts to put the complete rear axle assembly together.

Today (after changing rear shocks on the wife's car, and replacing the alternator on the Challenger) I pressed the bearings on the axle shafts (Timken tapers), I like to put the bearing in a plastic zip bag with some grease and pack them the clean way). I also removed the temporary rear suspension, and added some undercoat to the wheel wells. I need about 2 more cans to make an effective coating. I was able to mount the leafs to the tube with all the refinished backing plates and new U bolts. Ran out of steam but hopefully tomorrow I can get the last remaining bushing from NAPA, assemble the backing plates and brakes, clean the center section and paint it (4:10 sure grip baby!). With a little luck I'll be able to slide it under the car with some borrowed wheels too. Anyhow, more pics, enjoy.
