Slacker's Guide to Fixing Up the 68 Notch

Thanks for the kind words guys. A piece of build advice I have often seen on FABO is try to do something each day on the car, no matter how insignificant. I am pretty sure I will never meet that rule because I have very good excuses (ahem, cough, cough, slacker...) but you guys can hold me to the fire!

They looked at my credentials and gave me a lifetime membership so no worry there! Thanks for the kind words on the documentation.

My next project if I chose to accept it is to start rebuilding the front suspension. Think I will do one side at a time and see how it goes. I am doing some reading up on FABO and the factory service manual on the how-to. I am always looking for advice so please fire away with tips.

I think I will work on this passenger side first. I want to replace all the bushings, ball joints, tie rods, seals, etc. This is a 10 inch drum spindle and I have a disc brake spindle that will be swapped.

This was my Christmas present from my wife. How did she know I wanted it? She must be psychic or possibly I may have let it slipped I wanted it:D. Hopefully these tools are helpful and decent in quality. They are made in USA. They almost price matched the chinese ones that are available through Mancini.
keep the wife !
