Everyone, I have completed the full rebuild of the rear suspension in my 62
coupe and drove the car yesterday. The rear of the car handles like a new
car. Its amazing how much that rear cross member must have been moving
around. While in there, I removed the heater box and cleaned/repainted
with rust preventative paint everything in the area.
I sent all the red parts out and had them powder coated. All the black
parts were cleaned, blasted, and primed with a rust preventative primer and
then a Black semi-gloss. I also installed new u joints, all new brakes, I
rebuilt the wheel cylinders, and replaced the brake lines, body to cross
member bushings and A arm bushings, new hardware as needed and installed
new Clark's springs.
I just ordered the front suspension kit, so that is next!
Attached are a few pictures of the job.
