Hey.. it worked!
Here is the car. Presently it drives down the road, but it handles
TERRIBLY. Very scary to drive. I'm thinking a tie rod may be bent so I just purchased those (Raybestos, I bought them before learning about the grease zerk problem so I'll have to check that). There is a hell of a camber problem, too, and the tires are scrubbing hard on the inside so I'm thinking there is a lot of toe in. It jerks right and left in a scary fashion.
Couple all of that with the shocks being completely non-existent
and the ride heights messed up... it's a horror show much past 30 mph. Engine runs pretty good though!
