Re: Penny

The struggle was real with those bushings. They gave me a lack of motivation to work on Penny, but finally got them out by drilling out the rubber, slicing the outer shell in two, and an ample amount of hammering. Also had to cut the upper ball joints out. Those original rivets were in there good.

The next step was pressure washing everything. Took me awhile to do because I had no desire to break out the pressure washer and make a mess. Finally got to it last week.

Had a nice evening tonight weather wise. The control arms have now been “restored”.

Still plenty of parts to paint, but I need more paint and it’s dark now anyways.

The muffler was toast. It’s no longer attached
