Thanks for the support Dave!

So onto problem one. The passenger spindle.

The rotor would not go on the spindle, turns out the diameter is .25" to big which means i needed to find another spindle. So i run out and pull on off of another front suspension, bring it home, same problem. So that means i had no option but to pull one of a suspension that was in a car that burnt to the ground. That was quite the adventure...

Here we finally got the rotor and caliper off with lots of heat, notice the inner part of the bearing is still on the rotor Not moving at all...



whats left of the bearing in the rotor...



So the inner part of the bearing need to be cut off as it was not moving. So our friend very carefully torched it out...



Here is the aftermath, then we also broke all three dust cover bolts, which in turn broke a drill bit and a tap. This was a very interesting project



All done, spindle is cleaned and primed, just needing paint...



Then steering column troubles (knew it was coming, still trying to find an alternative to spending $150 for the flaming river kit...




On the upside, i polished the headlight rings (three backs not done, just to compare)










Just a tip for ya... Next time you have a race or steel sleeve siezed on a shaft like that. Take a ball piened hammer and strike it a few times with the ball end and the sleeve will expand and come right off, everytime. Car looks great!! Have a great year at school!

I will be having some updates this break and this is a small one from this evening...

Been Buying lots of parts, hes a small portion of them...


I want a Rim blow on the car so I've been Stocking up on the wheels, and parts to the wheels to make the best set. All others will be sold off once i put the best of the best together. Check what was in the Chryco Box


Door Glass Installed, still need to get the wiskars before i tighten it all down and align...


Did a minor tear down of the latches...


Scrubbed them down and greased them up, and the original plating came out OK so i installed them


I'll have more over the break
