The body is tilted on it's side. The floor pan is coated with 2 coats of POR15 primer awaiting a top coat of white paint and clear coat
Time in garage Thursday: 3-1/2 hours
Finished assembling the front brakes etc. Trial mounted the front steering arms -temporarily attached pending receipt of the rack and pinion steering kit. Cleaned up my work area. Took some pictures and contemplated "recycling" of the 1957...
This is the assembled left hand side suspension with the Toyota 4 piston caliper installed and the modified dust shield attached. I am 110% happy with this side. I ran into a problem with the right hand side install. There is a minor interference problem between the caliper and rotor. I am not sure what the problem is but I determined not to disassemble again as I will have to pull the assembly apart again when I install the steering-for now the wheels turn and that is all that is important (to move the chassis around)
Front tires installed-a major milestone in my mind.
