Front Suspension/Brakes/Steering Progress
This weekend is dedicated to getting the remainder of the front suspension, brakes and steering finished. I bolted up the Lee Manufacturing 12:1 quick ratio steering box. This is the same box I had on the car prior to taking apart....again. I painted all the tie rods, center link, etc with Eastwood Spray Gray which has a nice cast metal look. Bolted up the Baer 13" brakes which I was running before. Not exotic, but very effective with the hydroboost set up. Tomorrow the wheels and tires are going back on so I can officially have a rolling chassis. After that the brake lines and fuel lines are next.
