Biohazard

Also,

A week ago I finally got a matching paint sample!! Promptly ordered the paint be mixed and shipped out. Got it Thursday, sprayed it yesterday (67F and 64% rh ). Plan to clear with VHT engine clear if I can hit a sweet spot today between morning fog and early evening rain.

De-gunked the motor mount brackets so I can spray them black for engine installation later this week. I'll do the transmission crossmember at the same time and probably the water pump. Painted the wiper motor last week so it will be ready to go in when all the big stuff is in.

Installed the torsion bars and actually let her sit on all four for a change. Looking a lot less like a jalopy this way.

Correct idler link arrived and I got that put in. Then I was able to do a rudimentary adjustment on the tie-rod sleeves.
