My restoration project actually started out as just a weekend project to replace my Radius arm bushings. Unfortunately as I got into the tear down I kept discovering worn parts that needed to be replaced. So instead of just replacing the Radus arm bushings I ended up replacing every single factory suspension bushing with an Energy suspension Polyurethane counterpart... I also replaced all body mounts with Polyurethane Bushings from DayStar (see my DayStar Body Mount install thread for info and pics) As I was tearing into everything I decided It would be best just to do everying at once and get it over with. Therefore after removing everything I wired brushed and sandblasted all metal parts down to bar metal and coated everything with POR-15.
