well, got some more parts today for a complete frontend rebuild.. new tubular upper and lower control arms from right stuff.. i'd highly recommend these to anyone as they re fully loaded with bushings and ball joints, they have grease zerks in all the right places, they re fully gusseted in each corner and have an extra piece welded over each end where the bushings are for extra strength, and they re alot lighter than the 42 yr old rusty worn out originals.. also ordered all new inner and outer tierods and sleeves...the ol girl is gettin real close to driveable so just thought it needed some frontend work... also i'm buying a 396 from nomrlz next weekend.. it'll be a while til it gets big block power but atleast ill have it
