Re: Jon's 69 CST Build

A little bit of progress.

A-arms, springs and drop spindles installed. I want to correct something I said above. I said that the dimple in the lower a-arm needs to be pointing up when you get the cross shafts installed. Actually the dimple needs to be up and pointing slightly toward the center of the truck (away from the ball joint). Learned this when I installed mine. Fortunately it was fairly easy to rotate the shafts in my vice.


Bench bleeding the new MC. I don't know how guys who build show cars/trucks do it. I ended up with brake fluid in places that I didn't want it, and it ate a little of my new paint.


Can't wait to see how it stops!
