Re: Danny Boy is BAACK! w/ '55 Big Window

Thanks you guys. Bit of a baad day today. Drove 30+ miles out to Pick A Part intending to pull the IFS & IRS out of a C4 Vette for my truck. Took all the tools I thought necessary but what a bust! Got the front upper A arms loose, shocks off, could NOT get lower A arms loose with the tools I brought. After many attempts I just had to quit.

Then to make matters worse, had a tread separation issue on my Dually on the way home that will cost me $200 to fix. Took it to Laughlin last week and I'm sure the heat & load of the boat contributed...but it was the front tire that crapped out! It may have been coming on since that tire was rotated from the rear, I never saw anything though.

Anyway, PUNT! The Vette parts will have to wait now. They'll be there when I go for them again with the right tools including a cordless impact driver or they will not. Back to installing irrelevant little pieces of chrome to her. I'll post again soon.
