well most of the parts for the suspension rebuild are now in hand, so i tore into the front. i stripped a brake line fitting, but otherwise everything came off pretty easily. the brake rotors have some pretty major grooves, so i think i'm going to buy a complete disc brake kit.
next is some cleaning and then i need to find some por15. the wheels are off being powdercoated. i'm still fiddling with the gauge bezel and glove box door paint. getting a little frustrated, but i think i'm getting close.
