Re: My 63 Project

So now I am just about ready to tear into the control arms. I got my new bushings and ball joints.. Do I need to measure where the existing ones are to get as close as possible for the alignment shop??? And does anyone see any reason that I can't use a cutting torch on these rivots on the top of the ball joint??? I would be much faster than a grinder..

I like your truck build, keep up the amazing work on it. Your new 383 sounds like it will be a great engine for your '63. Keep the updates coming and good luck with getting it all together.

Parts are looking good! Having a blast cabinet is the only way to go. Way easier than cleaning the dishwasher from greasy parts!
