You know the 80 crowd Beno - - now you have everyone running out to check their ear quarter panels and adding it to the list just below checking the HG and PHH every month just to be sure everything is still ok. :lol:

Well, if the frames are toast, there are 2 left of each side in the US.

They will end up in the Discontinued Parts thread in the near future, I'm sure. I was surprised they were still available for ordering. Luckily for this client, they were.
 
Removed the old bushings from the control arms, panhards, radius arms etc. Five minutes in and the pump on my press decided to take a crap.
So I had to do it like a caveman, knocked the rubber out with a BFH, scored the metal bushing with a hacksaw and chiseled it out. Took me about 1,5h for all 18 of them, but at least it's done.

Finally. A few hours working on my own stuff. Engine installed. In 3 more years, maybe I will have it running. No, the strap didn't break, and yes I know that was a bad idea.

It a milestone on our way to Bentonville Arkansas for spring break. Also got a new sticker.

And on the 1/4 ton setting! You crazy and I like it nice work!!
Ummm, yes. I wasn’t going to mention the 1/4 ton setting that was almost bending the end of the arm. Haha! This is a restoration shop, we don’t have chains and stuff.
