Blasting.... part 6

Well was a long holiday weekend but not a lot of progress. Friday I got the front spindles broken down, dropped off the rear control arms to have the inner reinforcements welded in, returned the original Monroe Gas-Magnum Severe Duty 550011 CVPI shocks and MOOG CC803 rear springs I had ordered and picked up the replacement MOOG CC811 rear springs for a '77-'79 LTD II wagon and Monroe 34656 Gas-Magnum shocks for an '01 F150 Litening. Then went home and spent the rest of the day cleaned up the hard brake lines for the Torino on the wire wheel.

On Saturday, I dug thru my parts cache and pulled out a bunch of stuff that needed to be blasted, then had a go at breaking down one of the front  lower control arms. REAL PITA!!! With one down and half my work day gone, I jumped in to do a bit of blasting. Got the spindles, battery tray, horns, rear license plate bracket, tail light fillers, coolant lines, AC hot water control valve, spare tire wing nut and the lower control arm all cleaned up.....




















































Another long weekend ahead, let's hope for more progress!

HAPPY NEW YEAR
