Default Still around~

Have not poked my head in here in awhile, but I'm still kicking. I just got a bunch of work done to my 76 and she is looking fine. Brand new calipers, rotors, pads, new lines, and a complete rebuild of the suspension system. Replaced all the old rubber with the polyurethane bushings etc. She rides like a dream again and stops like a champ. Woo hoo!

Ended up setting me back about 4,000 (boo), but it was well worth it. Next big project is a new paint job and she is all done! (Well, for now at least).

Did you use the poly bushings in the control arms? Just wondered if you got any squeaking or did you use the graphite impregnated ones?
