Update: I've finally got all of the new suspension parts install that I'm going to tackle, ball joints upper and lower, upper control arm bushings, and inner/outer tie rod ends. Tried to do a shade tree alignment to see if I could get it close enough to safely drive it to the shop that is going to do the rest of the work with less that optimal results. A trip around the block revealed a distinct pull to the left and small changes with the steering wheel produced squeals from the tires. So it looks like it will make the trip to the shop on a trailer for lower control arm bushing, strut rod bushings, and finally an alignment.

I took my 63 to the shop today for a front end alignment. I had turned up the torsion bars for more ground clearance. Well they told me I need new ball joints upper and lower and new tie rod ends, plus a radius arm bushing (?). They estimated the job at $1200. I'm thinking I can do most of the work myself and save $$$$. I've priced the parts on Rock Auto and they are probably less than $200. Any pitfalls in doing this work?
