Great job��

Used toothpicks for mine, was a little leary of needle nose. Gotta laugh, cause yea...tedious. Then you flip it over for the otherside. I lucked out and only found a few pinhole leaks around the solder, top hose.

Never leaked all the years it was in the car, but worth the time pressure checking prior to reassembly . If not,,guess how that turns out.

Default Front subframe update...

Got my front subframe back from a "bake" and bead blast session today. Turned out really nice and clean. Frame is in great shape with only minor pitting in a few places. Car should be getting some color on it in a few weeks. Won't be long and I can turn the ratchet the other direction and start putting this thing back together!

It's looking really good. I always love the look of a freshly restored subframe when it's all going back together. Painting or powder coating the subframe? Body is looking close to having color.

Going to paint the frame. Was afraid that powder coating would fill the "forming marks" on the frame. Same goes for the A-arms.

Default BE is bare naked no more....

Finally got the BE rear painted and back together. Still need to mount up the brake lines. The yellow stripes on the bottom of the differential were found when stripping the paint as were the white inspection drips and number. I also saw those similar yellow stripes on a 9,000 mile unrestored COPO from Columbus at GoodGuys last summer. I changed the white number from a "6" to a "3" during resto as my car's assembly sequence was "3". Can't say for sure that's what the 6 was for, but I went with it.

Found a couple more "toddler" photos from back in the day (71-72 timeframe) at Edgewater. I think the Daily's we're from Dayton and were big Mopar guys that ran some factory light-weight hemi cars in the area.
Posted on Facebook, now adding here. Still searching for a "baby" photo!
