I did a quick and dirty spreadsheet comparision of buying all of the components to rebuild the suspension on my 69T. I was planning on using Elephant racing components just the rubber stuff nothing fancy.

The comparision was between buying the parts and doing all the rebuild myself or sending the parts to Chuck and using his restore service.

The rough analsys comes back at 1k more for Chuck to do it. What I am looking for is feed back as to whether it is worth it to just pay to have it done.

I do not have a press but was planning on buying a sand blast booth. But I would stIll have to get the spring plates replated

I know I have the skill to do the work. I have read some threads and heard some horror stories. I have enough work bringing this car back from the crusher so I was thinking I might just shop this work out

Here is the spreadsheet for review




Front struts 396 Spring plate service 500
sway bushings 53 Control arm service 800
camber plates 180 Trailing arm service 860
ball joints 190 Front struts 396
Ball joint hw 87 sway bushings 53
ctrl arm bushings 225 camber plates 180
turbo tie rods 210 turbo tie rods 210
rear shocks 278 sway arm bushings 160
spring plate hw 93 rear shocks 278
spring plate bushings 100 shipping 300
sway arm bushings 160 total 3737
trailing arm bushings 190
rear wheel bearings 260
shop fees 200
sand and paint 100
eastwood kit to replate spring plates 45
total 2767

So looking for feedback as to which way to go I am sitting on the fence

Thanks Thom O
