What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?
With steering, front end and brakes now all complete, I changed the gear oil in the rear end since it's been sitting up on jack stands in my shop for 17 years. Once I had that done, I put a little torsion on the new torsion bars, put on some old wheels/tires (temporary for roller status), jacked her up, pulled the jack stands and lowered her to the floor. For the first time in 17 years, she's on tires and back to "roller" status. Yea...my '73 "beaker" is now a roller. Next, I plan to roll her outside under the awning of my shop where she'll get a full steam bath before I start doing bodywork in preparation for paint. Also will be freshening up the interior as well. Progress is slow, but getting her back on tires and rolling was a huge major milestone for me today.
