On the grease fittings you added to the sway bar links, did you drill a matching hole in the bushing so the grease gets to the bar or is just greasing the bushing to link?

I drilled a hole through the bushing to the bar.  Front sway bar poly bushings had an inside radius groove like a main bearing to allow grease to fully surround the bar, but I didn't get that fancy.  Once I mount them, I'll grease and move the bar up and down just to get it all around.

Got the front fenders stripped of the black e coat and put into epoxy sealer.  Built some homebrew fender stands to make it easy.  Also got all of the body panel bolts into sealer as well so that I can start assembling.

Starting the filler work.  Zero clue what I'm doing, just trying to keep everything clean, go slow, prep adequately, and not use very much at all.  My plan is to do one section an evening and avoid burnout.  Using Evercoat Rage over the epoxy and a long block + DA.
