Folks don't call me numb nuts fe r nothing.
Ironic being A Body aficionados with the front springs they use that they call that malady a Torsion
My 67 sport fury has an extra leaf from the factory on the right side. 383 car.
I thought that 84 swiss cheese wheels had more than one row of holes... That's what my dad's 84 Laser had... In 85 they changed to just one row of holes...
84 swiss cheese rims:
85 swiss cheese rims:
I had an 85 1/2 Laser XT Turbo... They made them at the end of the model year... Mine was built on May 23rd and I picked it up on June 4th... The dealers started placing orders for the new 86's the next week after I bought mine...
Dad wouldn't let me get the T-tops because the firebirds with T-tops were always getting the T-tops stolen around here, so I got the sun roof instead...
Mine looked something like this one...
85's didn't have the third rear mounted tail light, the 86's did....
It's not too bad... I've been doing my own front suspensions for decades... Just take the lower control arms into a machine shop to have the pivot shaft bushing removed and installed... The rest you can do at home in your garage...

How much does a Belvedere weigh?
It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission....
For years when I was a kid I prayed every night for a new bicycle... Then I realized the lord didn't work that way, so I stole one and asked him to forgive me....

I worked at a towing company my first summer home from college and they did mechanical work, I was one of the mechanics... We had a 4 cyl Mercury Bobcat in for a clutch job and had to remove the trans... Our trans jack in the shop was broken and they told me to go to the shop next door and borrow theirs...
I didn't feel like going through all of that hassle, so I had the other teenage mechanic (Gary) hand the trans to me while I layed on a creeper... I then slid under the car and bench pressed the trans up and got it bolted to the block...
When the boss's brother came back and saw we had the trans back up there he asked who did it, and Gary said that it was Karl... So the boss's brother "another Gary" comes up to me and says, "Karl, you fucked up... You're the official trans man now"...
This should really be in the "Retired Hippie" threadAfter talkin' Dr Demento last night I couldn't resist.
I had fish heads on one of my Demento tapes...
Replacing a clutch in my Vega, I pulled trans out, it landed on my chest, OMG it was HEAVY!!!!I worked at a towing company my first summer home from college and they did mechanical work, I was one of the mechanics...

I try not to lift anything heavier then my pants to my waist.
Especially if my wallet is in them.
I try not to let my *** get above my head....
You need to take the ones in the top pan out of the package first...
So that's why it was difficult swallowing .
. Soft ball for ya buddy
And I was young and strong. Had to rent a trans jack to put it back in.....Could not lift it up there and line it up....Thump....
If I tried bench pressing a transmission, I'd probably fart and my arms would break like toothpicks.
That's why I laid down on the creeper first and had teenage Gary hand the trans to me, so I had the power angle on it...
I bench presssed over 200 lb as a freshman in high school... A football player in my gym class was pissed that I could bench more than him... ---> too bad, pussy...
They hit something and scratched up the side, but She told me it is all there.....mostly OK.That's great!!!
Hopefully it wasn't damaged or much stolen out of it....
There was a girl on our age group swim team that I grew up with that was able to out bench press most of the guys in her freshman class... She benched pressed 140 lbs...
She was strong and knew how to fight also (she had two older brothers)... Any guy that would have tried to mess with her was in for a big surprise...
We were playing animal ball once after practice and she was on the other team... Someone on my team passed the ball to me and she came after me and all I saw was arms coming at me and her nails scratching me... I threw the ball to the nearest person on my team to get her off of me... She was brutal... (and cute also)....
