June 18, 2011 (Saturday) Was the day I was able to get the last of the sandblasting done on the Chevelle. What little rust holes that showed up I was able to stich weld up with my mig gun. All of its grinded and ready for epoxy primer. I just ran out of time and will finish taping off and try and get the primer on tonight. When the right rear quarter was getting blasted. I also had them blast the radiator support and the left inner fender. Both the support and inner fender are in a nice coat of POR15 thanks to my girl Julie spending her Sunday out in the shop painting. I took lots of pictures. Just havent down loaded them yet.
I brought the controls arms with the bushings and ball joints to my buddies brothers shop and had him install them. WOW was I hosed! $241.35. Two hours labor @ $70.00 p/hour and the rest was for the control arm bushings he said he "could only get in a kit". But there done and back on the car with new springs, tie rods etc. Also installed the disk brake spindles and rotors from my disk brake swap kit from Right Stuff. The caliper brackets dont seem to beefy, but will work. Other than that the kit is very nice.
Also got the lastl ittle bits on the motor finished and got it about ready to be dropped in. Just need to add the oil and prime it. And I was lucky enough to find a core TH350 on Craigslist for $80.00 bucks and have that at the rebuilders. So things are coming along. After I get the primer on. I wanna get both doors on. Then the rad support so that I can start getting my new fenders on. The hood, etc. Make it look like a car again! Pictures to come soon.
