Started in on my 5 lug swap today
I got my 68 up on stands and started tearing into it. I bought the 5 lug conversion from Brothers a month or so ago. I have everything pretty much out of there except for the passengers side lower control arm. My header is in the way of taking the U Bolt nut off on the inside. I had to grind down my new rotors so that the center caps on my Centerline Smoothies would work, same problem as the Coy's. I already have all on my parts painted up and ready to go on once I do all of my cleaning and prep work on the factory parts. I also had to cut out the lip on my drivers upper control arm. Some time in the last someone got a little carried away with the pickle fork and rolled the edge over into the boot on the ball joint. Welded in a new piece and it's good to go. I'm going to go tomorrow and see about getting a blast cabinet and a reclaim unit so I can speed up my cleaning times. Here's some pics.
