Proportioning valve and brake line assembly and front control arm mount modification....

Some Tomato progress this weekend..... proportioning valve and driver side brake line installed...

front control arm mounting slots elongated on both side for additional chamber adjustment with raised rear end stance...

and upper control arm bushing cup rubber burnt out...

and cup blasted along with the replacement core support shim and cone nut the platers misplaced. Brought them home to polish before dropping back off at the platers as well as the front upper control arms, pivot shafts and bushings to get ready to drop off at the machine shop to have them reassembled on Monday.

Until next time.....

Control arm assembly and details..... part 20

Haven't posted any Torino progress pics for a couple weeks but I have been tinkering a bit in the garage at home on some of the smaller items... got the brake proportioning valve reattached to the mounting bracket...

cleaned and conditioned the rubber radiator isolators...

and mounted the ones in the upper radiator support brackets...

clear coated the hood latch assembly (not sure yet if I'm crazy about the natural patina??)...

cleaned the floor shifter neutral start safety switch and gear indicator (need a new pointer and blue filter)...

Saturday at the dealership (after two weeks away!) I got the bushings pressed into the front and rear lower control arms...

clear coated the jack post...

and painted the exhaust hangers.

Sadly I junked one of the upper rear control arm bushings and cups so that will prevent the rear end getting hung until I get the replacements. ##@$$!

Until next time...
