My 59 convertible is in the shop to install the rebuilt 390 and C6 transmission. They pulled the engine today and then noticed that my lower A Arm bushings were in bad shape. So I had to make a run to Larry's T-Bird and get new bushings. While we are at it I decided to replace the upper arm bushings too.
When they went to install the lower driver side A Arm bushing they found the mounting hole was cracked so it needed a weld. Nice to find it now. Its much easier to do this work with the engine out. Just shows old cars are always full of surprises, pays to check everything.
Hopefully they will have the front end repaired by tomorrow and then get back on the engine and trans.
