Made some headway today... center link, tie rod ends, and idler arm are all painted. I cleaned and primered those yesterday. I took apart my steering shaft and regreased it, didn't really need it - but, peace of mind. I cleaned that up and gave it a coat of paint. I primered the sway bar, and painted one side of it. The sway bar bushing brackets got painted, as did the steering shaft coupler. I applied the eastwood coating to my exhaust manifolds as well. Feeling quite accomplished at the moment.

Tomorrow I am hoping to do the tie rod adjusting sleeves, the other side of the front sway bar, and start on the steering box, pitman arm, PS pump, and brackets. I'd love to have the crossmember and frame rails ready to paint by this weekend. Then reassemble everything next week.

I haven't had much time for my car sadly. Today I had some free time, but decided to donate my time to a friend. I am helping with the resto of his 72' Pontiac Lemans. We're building a GT tribute for the pure stock drags, complete with a real YS code 400 Pontiac.

Today I cut some rust out of the deck lid, and stripped 90% of the paint off the passenger side fender. I sent him a few picture texts to let him know that I got a jump start on both pieces for him. Hoping he will come over and sandblast the deck lid Monday, and finish stripping the fender. I already have the patch panel ready to go for the deck lid.
