Looking good.
End link bushings are the same as GT rear...so you can get them from OGTS.Moving to final assy for differential and rear end housing. Looking for poly sway bar bushings and end links. What have y'all come up with previously? Pretty standard stuff. Summit Racing probably has some combination that will work. I just haven't researched it yet.

On average what would it cost to power coat something like that. I am thinking of power coating my air cleaner can, top, and snorkel and the new weber carb cover from OGTS. Based on your experience would you have a ball park figure. I plan to have it completely sanded to metal upon delivery to the provider.Most of the rear suspension mocked up. Anxious to get it back down on the ground. Check for final ride height and send springs and sway bar out for powder coating.

You can do it yourself, buying everything, for the price someone would charge (assuming you have an air compressor)On average what would it cost to power coat something like that.

Ovens are free all the time. You just need to look in the free section on Craigslist or on freecycle.And a spare oven you don’t want to use to make food again
Yeah, sure. "Oven that is wide enough to get an Opel axle body in it. Free to good hands. I can deliver to you as well."Ovens are free all the time. You just need to look in the free section on Craigslist or on freecycle.
I prefer satin black to gloss. Gloss looks good but it shows every finger print and imperfection in the surface, like you said.So I have changed my mind about the high gloss power coat. I painted it with a high gloss black paint, to see how it would look, but because of all of the rust pits it really looked bad as each flaw was magnified by that nice shiney paint. I think I will spend the time necessary to sand it as smooth as possible, not removing all of the existing original paint, but that still will not remove all the pits, and then have it professionally painted with satin black. That should make for a nice presentation, going to have the weber cap painted at the same time. I am hoping that the flaws will not show up with the satin paint.
I saw he wanted to powder coat his snorkel and air cleaner. I missed where he wanted to powder coat his axle.Yeah, sure. "Oven that is wide enough to get an Opel axle body in it. Free to good hands. I can deliver to you as well."
