Upper Control Arms, Ball Joints, and Axles
The updates will keep coming fast during chassis assembly. Things will slow down once i have the frame on some wheels. Thats just how it works.
New ball joints installed. It would be nice to do the original rivets but i find that process kinda painful, especially when working with a finished painted arm. I go with the traditional bolts, but I do modify them to look like rivets on the underside as the picture shows. Just my flavor of doing things.
Im thinking this weekend if the weather is crappy it will be time to get the lower arms in with the springs. My fear on this car is i will be pulling them off once fully assembled to adjust the ride height because of the weight reduced motor. I called a few places about this and frankly was not encouraged by just use our small block springs. We shall see how things shake out.
