It’s been a workout trying to break some of those bolts free but i know it will drive so much better when it’s all done.
I think all the grease that came off the dart ended up all on me.
Been there with the Valiant. The right tools are very important. And I love my 1/2 inch drive Milwaukee impact wrench. It spared me much pain.It’s been a workout trying to break some of those bolts free but i know it will drive so much better when it’s all done.

You'll be super happy and notice the difference with the new setup.
Did you go with PST for the new stuff?
I ordered an Energy Suspension kit. I ordered their master bushing set. Except I didn’t realize that the set did not include the lower control arm bushings. The local Napa store had those in stock.

I'm wrapping up work for today. Got the mowing done. Was at the point where it was going from yard maintenance to farming... 
Spent some time beforehand adjusting mower deck. I can get it adjusted to cut nice, but there's barely any lift up with the lever. Not sure if its just worn parts or something bent maybe. I might be able to do it by moving the handle a spline or 2, but that didn't move. Would like to know what the actual problem is.

Those are rubber bushings, not neoprene?

They are polyurethane. My husband installed a set several years ago on the chevelle and he has had no issues with them. The car drives great.
As long as your happy with it, that is what matters.
At $6.500... Easy peasy. It's right up the road. Scott and I could go look at it for you.
Then we could do a road trip and deliver it.
THAT could get stupid
Well I will let you know how it goes and if it’s squeaky. There hasn’t been any squeaks with the chevelle so I’m hoping for the same results.
I know nothing from nothing... I do hear people talking about the perceived "stiffness" o the poly bushings. I went with PST rubber.
Oh boy! That would be fun. But I have 2 cars now that I barely drive. Other than selling 1 or 2 that I own. I would like to get down to one car. Just the right one.

Smart play right there, well done Steph!
Everything cleaned up from today. Welding the needed patch tomorrow. I'm going to clean up and paint the back side of the bumper and repaint the brackets tomorrow. Should be fairly painless
Went round and round about a starter buy for the truck. Finally decided to go with a Bosch. The NAPA one that is in there now is not that old, but the Bendix is Forqued. Squeals now and again.

Nothing ever seems to be painless

Fingers crossed, Lauren got a call from a IT guy at the company she wanted to work for. The person they hired with more experience isn't working out.
Fingers are crossed. I hope it works out for her.
The Person makes the difference. Wish companies had a better way of assessing that.
Looks better in pics than in person
I thought you were talking about painting a real truck
It’s real haha. This is what I got from the secret Santa last year (it’s nearly identical to my w200)and was saving it for my son’s first 4H project. Officially in 4H as of yesterday and with 39 projects between him and my oldest daughter, we was getting a head start .I thought you were talking about painting a real truck
Oh well, it’s a good practice for him. Hobby lobby has one to replace
