1971 Plymouth Duster project

Finally got around to work on the Duster again. Summer is over and the carage time starts :)

I have started with checking out the rear end for any clearance issues. I did not pay any
attention earlier for the springs but I seem to have 7 leaves, so no clearance issues:



Now that the car was on wheels again, I wanted to clean the engine bay and prevent it
from rusting more in cold carage. So sandblasted and then painted with black.




Next was the K-frame and steering. Dropped that out and dismantled all. Seems
that the lower control arms are shot and the other one is changed earlier as
it had had sway bar.





The spindle on the left side was interesting. The hole for the upper ball joint is totally on different position than on the right side. It is so close to the edge that it is impossible to
move the nut with a socket. Is this normal?

Right side (the hole is almost in the middle):


Left (way off the center):
