Hoping to get back into the shop this week.  Been trying to gather a few items to make another assult on the project, plus had many a distraction as of late.  I should have the front sub-frame completely assembled (Minus steering box and linkage) and be ready to install the engine and trans by the weekend.  I either need to purchase a new steering box, or have my original (manual) box rebuilt.  I am not sure how hard that car will steer with manual steering with the 502/5 speed between the frame rails.

Well,

I got my steering arms last evening, and cleaned, primed and painted them this evening.  I got them installed and finally got my new rotors and calipers installed.

Of course, I couldn't wait to put my wheels and tires on the front.....

Wow, Thanks Guys/Gals!  I will try to keep this worthy enough to keep checking in on.

I did get some front suspension steering components installed this week.  The clamps for the tie-rod sleeves came in black phosphate, but I blasted them and plated them....Just cause I like the look.

I still am unsure of what I am going to do with the steering box.  My original box needs rebuilt, which, if I could find the parts, I would do it myself.  I kind of want to put on power steering, and another side of me wants to put some form of aftermarket rack/pinion on it.  What is everyone else using on your rides?

Here are a few shots to look at.
