I used dinitrol and I've done half of your car, I've still got the passengers side doors to do and I'll also get some longer hose to get all of the chassis rails.

Last week I got my 1st delivery of bolts, they're bright zinc plated. I couldn't get all of them from one place. Which I organised into where they'll be used - mrs jim was surprised that I was capable of such things!

I had some anti squeal shims made up as they're impossible to find, rebuilding the leafs was much easier than I had anticipated. I have a few chips to sort once they're fitted but I'm not worried about that.

I had a decent session on tina yesterday and got the rear axle on along with the diff.

I should have the other fasteners this week so I'll be able to get the springs on and dropped on the deck.

Before I sign off I'd like to ask if anyone knows of any good chromers and zinc players. I'd like to get the C pillars done and the eyeball vents (plastic?) And the grill (aluminium).
