Nothing makes me feel as snug as a fresh set of ball joints, control arms and store-bought bushings. This ratrod is shaping up, but the work is far from done. As soon as I get the bread, I'll swap out the springs and struts and finish with a home-cooked alignment. Then, and only then, will I be ready to mount my new set of performance radials. Don't worry about the rusty brake rotors. They'll clean up once the car's back on the road.
