1966 Factory V8 Valiant Signet Restoration For My Other Daughter
Painted the inner door uppers Automotive Arts Motocryl single stage black. Got the rear spring shackles mocked up and ready to install the new 6 leaf springs.... if UPS does not lose them again.... Front end is all mocked up... Had a mess up with the polyurethane lower bushing... The LCA pins were so beat up that they had beat off their old bushing sleeves so they are too loose in the bushing... guess I order Firm Feel greasable pins. The gear box is cleaned/greased/resealed with new bearings using the Firm Feel kit. One of the lower ball joints did not come with a rubber boot seal... bummer. Tomorrow working on the rear axle.... If I get the new axle shafts and the springs come in she will be on wheels next weekend!!!!
