Back from the land of the Slammed...

[D&L Walters <WALTEE@prodigy.net>]

Evening, folks,
Just got finished with the front end re-build on the Notch. New lower
ball joints, tie rod ends, new rotors, new inner and outer bearings,
re-build the calipers, new brake lines, new shocks, and tomorrow it's
off to the tire shop for two new shoes for the front feet and an
alignment. No problem at all with the trailing arms or  roller bearings,
but after ten years at three notches lower than stock, I got tired of
torn up tires that rubbed at every hard turn. I took her up one notch on
each lower arm and she settled right in. Now the front sits even with
the rear torsion bar sag that came with the car. The trailing arms
didn't want to come off at first, but after a little thermal persuading
(ouch!) and a gear puller in a strategic position, every thing came off
in time. Definitely worth while, just time consuming. AAR, does anyone
know if they are going to the  Bug Jam in Dade City, FL this Sunday? I'm
headed out on Saturday, hopefully with the Notch, from the Miami area.
Hope to see any listees there. Let me know.
