The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Interest in new restoration project thread?

When I did my rear spring on my AV8, I had a new spring, but drive in new pins with a tool/hammer. Not the best way, but spring was warm and I put bushings outside at -30, so it went ok.
But when it came to the axle perches I cheated and used modern slip in bushings made to look like original.
