Subframe and steering linkage
Well I noticed after I got the car back from the Body Shop that there is a huge chunk out of the bottom of my subframe. This woul dnot be a problem if it were a driver only but since I am thinking of sellign this at auction some day, one roll over the "Chassis Cam" at Barrett-Jackson and the guys would certainly notice it! So I got a new subframe from Jimmy's Bowtie and got it powdercoated at AZ Powdercoating along with the Control Arms. They did a GREAT job.
Next my wife, Coreen, helped he line up and install the subframe. This is difficult as you have to line it up with pins - not very accurate. I then retored and repainted the steering box and linkage and started the reinstallation of the steering system. I also have a newly rebuilt steering column from Ground Up along with a new pedal bracket because the last owner snapped off the brake light switch bracket on the unit. I installed it and then started on the Master Cylinder. It was then that I noticed that Ground Up, in addition to many other parts, shortchanged me of my proporationing valve bracket. I called and they are sending it out.
