Made some more progress today. Started cleaning up my original disc brake valve. It had remnants of "ice blue" paint that was applied in 1970. Dated 155th day of '69. Also finished up the rear end by mounting the leaf springs - pretty happy with how that all turned out. Cleaned up my original parking brake cable hook - any idea if this was originally natural metal or phosphate? Guy I met at a local car show told me he had an original jack assembly from his car sitting on a shelf. Now it's going to be part of this car, it cleaned up really nice!

Well, got the front subframe pretty much completed today. Let me know if you see anything wrong, now's the time to fix it. Most everything you see is original to the car including brake lines/clips, all steering components, 2 pc. rotors. Ball joints, and bushings replaced with OE quality stuff. Brake calipers are originals and dated correct, just not original to this car. Natural metal stuff is all cleaned and coated in Baoshield.
