Assembly feels so good.

New leaf springs, u-bolts and nuts, shackles and "wet" shackle bolts.

The last photo of the frame rusty!

This is how my Saturday starts, not quite a bloody mary, but the smell will wake you up! The torch was to remove some old sticker reflectors that were painted over. The paint stripper removed a lot of the Barney purple and last but not lest is the Phosphoric Prep & Etch, the idea is to remove the rust and it leaves you with a clean paintable surface. Just don't get it on your skin!

First coat of the Prep & Etch, it already looks better, although it brought out more purple that was hidden under rust!
