Father-Son 1974 Duster Project
So anyway, way back in post 11 of this thread the condition of the point that the lower control arms go into the K frame was questioned. 3 opinions later I decided to roll with what I had. fast forward to last Thursday and my son Aaron decides to take the car to school, without letting me know by the way. He goes to Monmouth University and commutes. So he’s pulling out of the lot and he gets on it. Hits some loose gravel, looses control, over compensates a fish tale, 180s the car off the road over a curb and LCA pivots tear their connection to Above mentioned K frame. No serious body damage, just 2 paint bruises the size of a quarter. The car is slated to go back to the paint shop to fix a few other nicks from assembly and a few their guy put in the door edge when they swapped in new hinge pins recently. The guy who
Painted my car four years ago still works there and did a great job blending the color and clear when I re did the gutter caulk after the whole car was painted. That is the plus side of
Non metallic paint and keeping the car in a garage under a cover when not
In use. No fade from the sun!
Fast forward to today and I buy a tubular K Frame from Jegs. DAMN IT!!
