Rear end is back in!

After a lovely fight with the rear shackle bushings. I've got it all bsck together. Everything is just loosely bolted together, still got a few things to do before she's good to go: torque every bolt, reconnect the driveshaft, bleed the brakes, etc. Feels good to get this far, but it'll have to wait as I'm off to the Indy 500!

Bushing out, time to reassemble everything tomorrow!

Pulled the bushings out of the leaf springs today. Original bushings to the car. Without a proper shop or tools made for an adventure, but we succeeded!

Rear-End getting ready to go back in

One step closer to getting the rear-end back in

Got the rear-end back from the shop. Replaced the pinion seal and had them install new flanged axles. Finally had time to clean it up and get it painted. Hopefully getting it back in this weekend. Rear-end out of a '61 Studebaker Hawk
