Yesterday I determined to continue the parts sort and get into the large plastic bins and get the parts sorted by task. I think it was time well spent!!!
Most of the chassis components are now in order but during the process I realized there are a few "gaps" that I need to address parts wise. Particularly with respect to utilizing polyurethane vrs rubber bushings for the upper A arms. For some reason I missed specifying the poly bushings in my original order (placed last year)-an oversight I my part ..I figure since I have everything apart I might as well do it right...
I surprisingly found a vinyl top that I didn't realize existed. It has no rear windows in it but for around $100 bucks it might be made useful vrs ordering a new top. I will probably get a quote next week from my local upholstery shop to replace the clear plastic windows..
My wheels are now ready (tires have been removed) to go down to the wheel repair shop for straightening (which I will do on Thursday).
I made arrangements with my son and his buddy to come over next week to move the '57 body and the '59 frame from the front driveway to the back parking pad.
So little by little I am working away taking care of the details...
