Wouldn't think of trying it, myself.
Almost the second-coolest thing about your car, after the motor.:p

I've been polishing more brackets & fasteners courtesy of my Thumbler's Tumbler...It certainly beats zinc plating & hand polishing the parts!! :D

Definitely close. And he crammed in behind FamilyMAN, which must've made working that clutch pedal hard ;)Quote:

They can be a little bit of a pain as they usually deal only on commercial stuff. They wanted me to set up an account and draft the money from my bank. Took a bit but I finally convinced them to take a check. Filled a large flat rate box full of hardware I cleaned in the blasting cabinet "Which took forever to blast a bunch of nuts and bolts".
I should sig that with "New record!"Quote:

Videos just got done uploading to YouTube. Bout to throw them in your thread.
Thanks! I'll give them a ring once I get the rest of this stuff squared away. Honestly, a lot of the chassis bolts are probably just going to be getting replaced. The amount of rust and corrosion on some of these is mind boggling.Quote:

Probably not going to do much else to the car stuff today. Trying to organize and clean stuff up, try to make room to fit everything. I've sold enough stuff (and reassembled enough stuff) that I now have space on my shelves in the parts room to fit some of my big tools that I don't use often enough to justify cluttering up the garage with. That should help. Need to get in there and start seriously cleaning stuff out. This lease runs out at the end of June and I should probably get packing this stuff up as I don't plan on staying here. Need to get the car ready to go onto a tow trailer.
I'm assuming rear subframe and trailing arms, front steering rack cross member and control arm, steering knuckle, hubs, the axle pieces to keep it from destroying the hub, and then probably put the OEM ECS struts back on for better ground clearance than the coil overs.
