Monday morning update: Over the weekend I finished sandblasting all of the front end/front brake parts, backing plates and drums will be painted a low-gloss chassis black along with front springs. Most everything else will be clear coated with a satin low gloss to maintain the "new" finish.

Upper and lower inner threaded shaft bushings will be black phosphate coated, closest to oil quench hardening original finish.

I've picked all new brake components, our deluxe kit, plus the gaskets fort the grease retainer plates: also front wheel bearings and seals.

Chassis is due back tomorrow, welding of stretch beams and painting are first priority.

So far all of the work is what Dan and I call "Negative Work", taking things apart. After the chassis is painted starts the "Positive Work". HOORAY!!!
