Some FYI the AC Delco lower control arm bushings are not concentric/centered...ie junk I discovered a product by Eastwood called Exo-Armour, and decided I'd give it a shot. It claims to be exremely durable and good to 2000 degree's (I want to try it on exaust manifolds) it's only 4oz but covers an amazing amount of stuff when brushed on with a foam brush VIDEO I'm also experimenting/testing cosmoline replication for fun Note how small the Eastwood bottles are, it easily covered the parts laid out here I will probably paint the disc brake shields black. If the 72 units will fit the 73 parts I'll eventually swap them. Additionally the reproduction front end boots shown here deteriorated in mere months in my garage... be careful Don't mind my backwards ball joints oops, they are just loosely assembled to keep things tidy for now

Thanks, the bar is set pretty high around here. I just think I was lucky to have scored and kept a decent solid example many years ago and that it's making me look better at what I'm doing . Years ago blasting would have been my best option, today it's different.

Thanks Buddy coming from you that means allot (have you all seen Brent's Duster Resto? resto link ) Tonight I picked up my powder coating, it's a perfect semi gloss finish (the flash made it look shiny) I then stopped by my buddy"s body shop... always something to see in there. From there I went to pick up an A body trans for Johnny Da Goat Then I fixed a tire ahhhhh, and my Rock auto parts arrived the Moog bushings are ok and I got a balljoint boot

Thanks Brent All, here's a heads up, if you are also waiting on EBC brake pads don't hold your breath... there's apparently no real ETA in sight, maybe November? Really? Don't you think a customer might want to know that if they are ordering these? Maybe notify the said paying customer it's back ordered? Nahhhh if the customer cares then they can call and ask Thanks Summit. So I could have said skip it long ago and bought a set of premium pads (probably Chinese) locally? Instead I'll do that now after waiting like an fool. I'll say it again today most products and vendors don't meet the expectation

The car is finally about ready, I just bought Raybestos pads, installed the pads, lines, calipers and swapped over the Master cyl studs, bled everything etc etc etc and greased etc etc..... OK now how cool is this. My oldest and youngest's Dart Rallye's with the blackout grilles (well they're my car's really $$ ) they are the one's who wanted them I swear I had nothing to do with either selection I SWEAR. And this is what I see when I look at them.....
