I used "Chassis Saver" that **** is awesome!

Much easier to handle than POR-15 and has the same rust stopping properties -I did the whole engine bay, front sub, and anything underneath that was rusty with it.

No fluids take it off and I can smack it with a hammer and it does not chip -granted it's not a show car finish for the engine bay -but suits my needs (race car). -no more rust.

So I had the DTSS pressed out then in by a friend -he also did the rear wheel bearings for me.

The little metal sleeve that the knuckle was hanging up on was an easy fix -tiny bit of heat ( I suggest propane not MAP) and it moved freely.

Anyway -Rear sub is back in.

Sub and trailing arms coated, DTSS elim, MMR Diff and subframe mounts, Delrin front diff mount and center camber arm installed.

Engine should be back Thursday -ready to drive!

Also re did the fuel system -it was too low and had me worried.


This is where the sleeve was interfering with the trailing arm:


Rigged up a socket (22mm) nut bolt and washer -a little propane heat and it moved very easily -in fact I prob could have done it without the socket, ect -just some good gloves.



Here it is after moving it a bit for proper clearance:


Entire car was undercoated and any rust was hit with "Chassis Saver" (like POR-15)


Here is the rear knuckle all cleaned up -bushings installed and back on the car:
