Yesterday was another hot one but decided that while the rear differential was apart, and much lighter, I would finish up the rear suspension. I reapplied the springs and mounted the rearend housing in place and marked where the shock mount bar was going. Then I flipped the frame over with the gantry crane (it's getting heavier) so the drilling of the holes would be easier. Got everything together including the rear sway bar. Thats when I found out I have the wrong bolts for the top shock mounts. Will get some to fit next week. The sway bar in the picture is still covered with bubble wrap as it is chromed.
I have one more cross piece to install yet and that is the transmission mount. I have to get a gutted 700R4 transmission case and an old small block Chevy engine to mock that in place. Then I think I will take it all apart and paint the frame.
Also been working on one of the front fender mounting pieces that had one end partially rusted away. Welded it up and ground it down. Still more to do on it, but it's good practice for me.
Only have two weeks left before we leave for Europe for five weeks.
