Worked to find proper location of the bump stop bracket. All welded in!

A sunny day and a bit milder weather here in Canada so dragged the body out for undercoating and top coating with semi gloss. Tough as nailsnow and easy to touch up.

Some parts epoxy coated then sprayed with single stage poly enamel semi gloss. It was a warm day with no wind so shot outside then inside to cure.

Thanks Will. The nasty part is the sandblasting. My friend has the setup I use but it’s just a noise, messy and time consuming process. With lock down on no better time to do it before the warmer weather.

Removed old bushing and put in new bushings. Put in new pins and made sure the zerk grease fittings were functioning. I kept track of the number of shims on each side of the pin and which pin when I disassembled so I new how many shims and where to put the new ones on the pin. I am assuming the shims on the pin end nest in the rubber gasket.
