Spent a good 5 hours after I got home from work on the charger. Here's what I got done.





Got the K-frame and suspension out.





Torsion bars removed, cleaned and painted.

Tomorrow I will finish disassembling suspension and will work on painting the k-frame.

are you reusing the original torsion bars? Since you are going to a BB, you might want to upgrade the T bars. It will work with the original bars, they will just be a bit light. Also, they have 30+ years on them, good insurance to swap them out from new ones. It will make a big difference on handling and be one less thing to worry about.

I might have to for a short while, doing it all at age 17 with a minimum wage job isn't the most idea situation, but is fun and will be very rewarding.

Got to try out the new spray gun today, I'm pleased so far with the results.







Unfortunately I ran out of rust encapsulator, currently waiting on another couple quarts of it. The spray gun I'm using is an Eastwood Concourse with the 1.4mm tip in it. First time ever spraying with a paint gun.

Very nice work and the Rust Encapsulator does a very good job.

Haven't gotten to do anything with them yet, the hood currently lays under my bed haha. Would be nice to save the rallye doors but at least the rally impressions in the door are good.
