i finally got the frame stripped, cleaned and epoxy primer. i have just a couple small areas to address before i paint it and then move on to putting the front end back together with all of the front suspension components then to the rear suspension. i already have the deluxe front suspension kit from Ground Up and i am looking for front disc conversion options. my question to TC is...

are there any good member pics of the front end being reassembled so that i can study them?

what should i be concentrating on in the mean time?

i need to replace the bushings in the rear control arms... are these the bushings i need?

thanks glenn.
i was a little confused because it doesn't state rear upper or lower and i wasn't sure if they were exactly the same or not.
