Preparing chassis for Rust Blast




After using paint stripper the diffs and springs had to be removed from the vehicle. Getting what was left of the nylon bushes out of the frame was a real pain in teh ahole. Oh did I mention the difficulty in getting the tie rods to seperate and in getting the forward steering box arm to seperate? Well I discovered, much like primates do, that if you dont have a heavy enough hammer then just get a bigger wind up and smash the component harder with the hammer you have. Yes, yes, for all you vehicle buffs out there I did use a tie rod seperator on teh tie rods but the steering box required a crow bar and some crazy hammer swings to seperate, fortunately I am replacing it!
