Third Gen Restoration - Suspension

The front and rear suspension is one area where a lot of new, or maybe just newer parts will be used. It's much easier to do this part right the first time than have to go back and take it apart again.

The brake dust shields were painted to simulate the original plating. Not the best match, but they'll be hidden anyway.
