Glamour Shots.. '62 Valiant Wagon
1/2/23:
Happy new year!
I resolve to keep working on my cars and make the factory brakes on this one respectable!
The other Lower Ball Joint arrived in the mail a few days ago.
I found that they are Drilled for a 1/2" Bolt, however my spindles use a 9/16" Bolt so I drilled them out for the 9/16" bolt size.
Since I will pretty much have the front end of the car apart, I figured I would replace all the Joints and Bushings while I was under there, So I pulled extra Stuff from my parts Pile, and I will Clean, paint, and install these parts to have the car apart for a shorter period of time.
Still need to Order Rod ends, Bushings and Upper Ball Joints, But Some Parts are getting painted now, and others are being blasted and old bushings pressed out.
In the "Paint Booth"
Ready for Disassembly:
