Henry's 70 Dart Swinger

rear brakes are done. started to do the leaf spring bushings. PITA!!!!! that crap hasn't been off the car since the assembly line. the bushings had the original part numbers on them.

had to buy new shackles...they were eaten up, dont know how they hadn't broken off yet. the front mounts are "OKAY" but i'm not sold on those repos from AR Engineering that have the two holes in them. one for lowering the car. i'd really rather just have a factory repoduction, but i can't find them anywhere.

poly bushings going in, but i had to Chisel out the front pivot bushing, which required dropping the leaf spring to get a good angle with the chisel. it took me an hour of working at it to get it to come out and it looked like garbled metal when i was done. little bastard! 40 years of being in the same place makes you one stubborn little prick.

started to rebuild the original AVS carb.....it was really really bad....worse then i thought. so i just bought a 650 thunder eddy and bam done. cost less then restoration of the original. should have done that to begin with. oh well.
