I have the Daytona just about to the point where I'm going to seperate the body from the frame. As I have a friend who will let me work at his body shop (and the hoist that goes with it), I want to minimize how long I tie up space. So with this in mind, I want to make a check list of what to have ready when I get my frame back from the powdercoaters.
[u]REAR SUSPENSION</u>
Leaf Springs
Clean & Rebuild Rear Axle
Rebuild rear brakes and lines
Bushings and Shackles
Rear Sway Bar & Bushings
Shocks
[u]Front Suspension</u>
Sway Bar & Bushings
Control Arms & Bushings
Spindles and King Pins
Center Pivot
Bell Crank
Reach Rod w/Power Steering
Tie Rods, Ends and/or boots
Front Brake Discs and backing plates
Front Brakes Lines
Shocks
Fuel Lines
[u]SPECIAL TOOLS</u>
Shackle Tool
Drum Puller
"A" Spreader Tool
What else do I need to consider? Ideally, I'd like to have new parts ready to go so that when I send the frame out, parts can start going on right away. This may mean finding other used parts, have them rebuild and save what's pulled off the Daytona for the Commander. I'm also sure I could have the front springs sent out with the frame and have them come back with the frame. Other than the control arms, what parts are reusable? The sway bars, bell crank and spindle I'm sure. Anything else?
I'm not so worried about the calipers, fuel tank or things of that nature just yet. I just want to be able to roll the frame onto a trailer for the return trip.
