72 C20 "Old Mustard"

[Mustard72]

Didn't get quite as much done as I was hoping this weekend, but then again I didn't even make it out to the garage yesterday. Today, with the help of my son, we got the steering gearbox and linkage all on. Also got the brake dust shields, front wheel bearings packed (still can't find my stinkin' packer, so did that by hand), and got the rotors on. Also threw a coat of paint on two stablizer bushing retainers and the stablizer mounts. All in all, I'm pretty pleased with the progress. Yesterday, I got a bunch of work done in the house on the RC Car workbench area now that it's the summer racing season.

In other news, my air compressor was confirmed to be no longer compressing today. Sort of a bummer, but I'm looking forward to a nicer one at this point. It was a 15 year old Campbell Hausfield (sp?) oil-less compressor. Noisy sucker. On the big side of what's needed for brad nailers, pneumatic sockets, or the impact wrench (most of the time), but still way too small for running sanders, sand blast booth, etc. Should have gone bigger back in the day when I was single and had nothing better to spend the money on. Plus, it would probably still be running versus this oil-less jobber that has now given up the ghost.
