Okay guys I finally got up enough courage to post some photos of my project. I'm looking for honest input please point out things that should be corrected and thanks again to everybody who's answered my posts.
Glad to get you started - you've reached the fun part - putting all the nice clean pieces back on the car
Front spring saddles (where the coil spring sits) were bare metal and didn't have that cute little rubber pads originally. Shafts would have been a darker heat treated metal when compared to the stamped steel of the rest of it.
No zerts (you can remove them and put a plug in) on the uppers or lower a arms.
Allot of the finishes might be different in person rather than what we see due to the camera flash since many of the heat treated steel pieces would have been fairly dark in comparison to the way the pictures came out
How did they get (rear wheelwell) nice blue color on the frame rail and on the upper wheelwell but back in between? Sound deadener then body color.
Need to clean (if your going the concours route
the red oxide color off of the third member where the machined surfaces would be
Looks like the rear spring and clamps both have the same finish/color where originally you would have had bare stamped steel for the clamps, a darker metal for the spring leaves and a contrast to black on the plastic insulators
Engine compartment. There would have been an effort to seal every opening, attachment point, electrical connection, hose, mounting screw (except the ground strap) with spray sealant. May be a bit difficult with the engine in but you can cover it and spray away
Keep up the good work - your getting there!!
