Sandblasted the sway bar and brackets. Still have a few spots on the sway bar to touch up tomorrow. And need to dust over the end links.
![]() ![]() I am off tomorrow, hoping I can knock out a lot of the cleaning and prep. I need to get on a tear and get this engine bay ready, it's been long enough.

I didnt get to do anything fun with the Chevelle today ,I had to weedeat after work until dark. I sometimes wonder what idiot(ME) wanted so many trees and 1800 ft of fence to weedeat around .

You must have a power weed wacker to get that all done in one evening.

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. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Today I moved the 55 out ,the chevelle in ,all to get the El Camino out for a bath at the local car wash and a short cruise to dry her off .I think I will drive her tomorrow since it has a half tank of gas and my daily is on empty.
