1970 Dart Swinger FINALLY UNDERWAY
That's gonna be awesome! Can't wait to see what your car with do with coil overs up front :burnout:
Got some more painting done today, seems to be the order of business as of late but usually when I'm painting it means a lot of stuff is about to go together. We'll see where we go from here. Removed the old bushings from the leaf springs with my little helper, still need to get the sleeves out but I'm going to work on that later. Cleaned them up with a wire wheel and painted with POR-15 top coated with black enamel, same treatment on the bumper brackets today.
I did discover something interesting while cleaning the scale off the leafs, I noticed they were stamped '76 so I did some research on the numbers and found that they should belong to a V8 duster. I'll count that as a good thing but how they got under my /6 grandma mobile is anyone's guess.
In other paint related news for anyone looking to use POR-15 on their car, people say that the stuff goes a long way. They are most certainly not kidding, I happen to have a gallon bucket of the stuff and so far WITH 1/8TH OF THE CAN I have coated the following:
Entire underside of the car, front suspension parts, bumper brackets, leaf springs, hangers and bolts, brake hardware, k-frame, more to come.
So yeah, this stuff goes a looooooong way. I'll have plenty left over but right now I'm feeling like franks red hot with the POR.
