After getting all of the donor and new suspension parts powder coated, I dove into the front suspension. The most challenging part was trying to replace the bushings on the LCA. After completely destroying one of them I concluded they really weren’t meant to have the bushings replaced, so I bought new ones. Darn…I want to try and use as many donor parts as possible! I did the modifications to the steering rack, cleaned it best I could, then painted it in gloss black.

Once I had all the parts on I just had to put on the donor wheels/tires and put it down on the ground. Yes! It finally looks like I am making a real car!
Of course, I thought I could set ride height at this point….but there is still a lot of weight missing. Guess I need to ‘weight’ until later to do that.
