Ok, I got a call from Peter and the shocks are on their way back. While looking at the front suspension, contemplating reassembly, I think to myself,"Well, they're already half apart."

So here are my questions:

What do I look for in evaluating weather or not to rebuild the front end or do I just do (or don't) do it.?  The car has only 37K miles on it and spent much of the last 30 years in a barn. The sway bar is new. It was replaced for sale. The rest wasn't. 

What is the skill level required to rebuild the front end? Under the tutelage of a professional mechanic I have replaced a lot of parts and done some wiring, but when it came to rebuilding the carbs he took that one on. 

Are there any better instructions on the job than in the green book?

No; I don't have a thing the British Royals.  She's Blonde (Old English White), beautiful and although feisty at times, she handles herself with grace, style and class.
