- I am currently rebuilding the front suspension on my 69 tr-6. How many of you sandblast and repaint all the front suspension stuff when you rebuild? I would like to but am re-thinking. It is a lot of

- Depends if noone will really see it. If you take the car to ABFM's and the like, people are likely to see it. And, as long as you have the thing apart, that is the time to do it. In the end, it's rea

- Good Tip. I'm Sure there are a number of other things that will also work. The point is, regardless of what measure you use, don't skimp, as you will most likely end up regretting it. Joe Curry

- Hi all, I want to rebush my upper and lower wishbones and maybe put new trunnions on to my 77 spitfire. I've got a few questions though. Do the bushings have to be pressed out? Also how difficult of
