Re: Bringing the '65 back to life
Just read through your build, nice work. I bet that painted cab is a sight for sore eyes after all that work you put into it.
Thanks for the firewall map, it's awesome!

Re: Bringing the '65 back to life
Thanks everybody! We returned from the honeymoon early yesterday morning, and I made my way over to the shop today. Dad and I installed the lower control arms, pressed in the lower balljoints, and shot some paint on a bunch of small parts/hardware. If anyone has a good reference for front suspension torque specs, please post up a link. I'll be searching for that information in the morning.

Re: Bringing the '65 back to life
We installed the upper control arms today, then turned our attention to the spindles and springs. We'll be using a pair of CPP 2.5" drop spindles (the non-modular ones) and stock coils. We taped off the machined surfaces and stuck them in the blast cabinet to remove the as-delivered paint, then everything received a coat of primer.

We slapped the front suspension together today. We were hoping to stick a pair of Cragar S/S's that Dad bought back in the late-60's on it and set it on the ground, but they didn't clear the caliper mounting ears on the spindles. So, it'll continue to ride jackstands for a bit. You can actually see the old Polyglas bias-plys in the background. I just set a caliper in place for a quick photo/visual. They'll stay on the shelf for now. |

I would chrome those when you are done with them.
