For you second question.
I am presently rebuilding my front suspension and I am having a ball. I
would suggest that you use your bushings and sandblast everything and either
plate them of paint them. It looks awesome. The problem I am having is that
the parts are soooo old and rusted that I had to get the rusted bolts
removed by a garage because I don't have a torch hot enough to get the
stubborn bolts off. You may have a hard time getting to the parts, but I am
doing a ground up and without the tub, I am getting to everything my easier.
I wish you the best of luck and you will find that the people here are
excellent in giving advise. They helped me a great deal. Good luck and
thanks everyone for your help.
