Leon's suspension is coming together

Hardware all require priming and paint. An airbrush makes quick and clean work of it. All bolts have a coating of anti-seize where required on the shanks and also cone washers and blue lock tite on the threads.

Mary's PO had it painted, but it was never wet sanded and buffed out. Tons of orange peel in the clear coat.

Mary's radiator came in, thanks much to Ron Davis Radiators. A superior product from a great company to do business with.

How are they for longevity, when installed correctly (ie: electrically bonded to the body)?

@Spook50 I have been using RDR radiators for 7-8 years, not one issue to date (aside from an employee drilling a hole in one).

Are those cover plates for the wiper linkage access made in house or did you source them from somewhere? My plastic ones are barely hanging on and I found out recently they're NLA.

They are OEM metal

They are OEM metal

Interesting. You have a P/N or cross reference?

 

[NCFJ]

None, came on the truck

I believe the 60 series had metal, 62 had press fit plastic.

Installed the PS and Trans coolers in Mary. Making up all the lines now.

 

[RUSH55]

Nice work! Gonna have to deal with that same issue soon.

All Mary's trans cooler lines are bent and installed
