9 October 2016 - Front Driver side suspension/brakes

I removed the driver side suspension components, cleaned up the shock tower area and frame area and painted the areas.

The fasteners for the brake lines, fuel line and coil spring plate are soaking in Evapo-Rust.

I also had the driver side drum turned today.  I removed the old bearing races and installed the new ones.  I oiled the drum shoe surface and bearing races then wrapped the drum in a plastic bag until I have the time to clean and paint it.

Now that the coil spring area and frame are painted I can work on the spindle, hub and coil spring cover.
