job wasn't 1/2 bad. with a air gun. hand tools it would have taken twice as long and really sucked. and who ever said you just need to lower the rear frame some is a liar. it had to be fully unbolted then manipulated so you could get to the bolts. one time im glad the brake line blew out too, cause that was a non issue with the new line i installed years ago being the stock one runs in the rear frame.

note the jack stand locations. eat your hearts out rot boxes lol

Nice pics? No see um. Sounds like whatever you did was a pita. Add blast media to rust dandruff and enter my world. Sometimes the toilet gets rusty too, from going to whizz with metal all over my jeans.

Re: What did you do to your boat today? Vol 2.0

Ya, pic situation is weird. I saw your lat bar install pics yesterday about 4 hours after you posted. This morning they're gone. I have seen the pb fix write-ups, but I don't have Chrome, don't know what Firefox is. Tech retarded you can say. I wondered if you did something different. No reply needed, just FYI.

That is strange. I take it you swapped those bars on the IRS. Rust showers suck, my 69's deck lid is full of those little crustys.

you would be correct. the last time to the alignment shop they guy said in the nicest way possible, dont come back again till you change them rear bars lol

i put new struts in like months ago so ive needed an alignment for some time, added camber bolts to all 4 corners and the new bars and this time i got the worlds best alignment ever.

and the air gun shook all that rust off. crazy but the rest of the under side is pretty rust free, as seen in the pics. the back 1/2, tank to bumper, rusty and crusty.

I'm jelly like donuts because I don't think there's one wheel aligned properly on either of mine. Still suffering from worn rack, too. Theres probably a MPG or two I am missing out on due to all that.
 
Re: What did you do to your boat today? Vol 2.0

she definitely rolls better. you've seen pics of the 04 ups wearing out the inner tire, thats how mine looked with new struts and no camber bolts. didnt feel like slotting them so i got the camber bolts.
 
Re: What did you do to your boat today? Vol 2.0

Those links want to open Google play store. Another funny thing... when I ran torque stars with Altimax tires, I ate tire edge on the corner with the creaky since day one quick strut on it. Now, with Bullitts and bargain basement tires I get plenty of tire noise but they all wear nice and even. Every corner on both cars are just eyeball or trial and error "aligned" lol.

Did you get slicks or drag radials?
 


Re: What did you do to your boat today? Vol 2.0

I finally got tired of listening to the hood latch cover rattling so I replaced the plastic rivets.
I'd wash the car again but it's gonna rain tonight.
Maybe I'll take a nap
 
Re: What did you do to your boat today? Vol 2.0

Hello everybody.Nice group. I am here mostly for my bosses car. We are getting the 400 bored and milled, and a stroker kit. Suspension is gone through, OEM quality or close though (Wasn't planning on the stroker at that time. Be prepared for the questions.
