1969 Dart GT Convertible

well got the rest of the front and rear bushings installed (thanks for the press Mike - 20 ton - works like a charm). blasted the rear brake backing plates and bunch of other stuff in the blast cabinet. Found that I like aluminum oxide to strip paint and light rust better than glass bead. Way dirtier and dustier though. Got a lot of parts sprayed in black epoxy primer, which is the final finish for suspension parts. need to mix another small batch to do miscellaneous hardware which will likely be over the weekend since the weather will be nice.

Got 1/2 the car sanded and buffed, got it out in the sun and had to turn it around to do the other side. Just need to score some brake shoes and wheel cylinders and can assemble the rear drums, as well as the rest of the rear suspension. Always found that the axle retaining plates, and the backing plates are always really tough to get over the 5 housing studs so i just barely enlarged the opening with a stone bit on the dremel. What a difference.
