Rear spring rebuild

Here's some before and after on the rear spring. I decided to restore the original spring instead of replacing it at this point. A rear spring restoration kit from Corvette Central was $34 and included the paint, center bolt and nut (correct style), and the leaf inserts. Cheaper than a new mono-leaf spring and keeps it original.

As you can see from above, the spring was obnoxiously rusted. It's under the car and takes a pounding from the elements. Whipped out the angle grinding and took all the rust off to bare shiny steel and then painted it with the stuff from the reso kit.
