Okay guys on my 1968 the rear is done, the new springs, bushings and shackles are in place and now the front is in progress.
I have the driver's side 95% done, but I've run into an issue. The threads on the strut rod are damaged over the last 1/2 inch or so. This wasn't an issue with the old bushings, as they compressed more than enough so that the nut was nowhere near the last 1/2 inch. But with the new ones, I need that last 1/2 inch. Any ideas? Do they make a die that big? Anybody have a source for a new/used/repop strut rod?
