Thanks, guys!

Jim

The next time you get it on the lift, raise it just an inch or so off the floor with the front suspension hanging free. Take a crowbar and place under each front tire and move it up and down. Watch for any slack motion in the upper and lower ball joints. They should be tight with no vertical motion ...

All the pictures, including your sig pic look great. Adam is a good photographer. What is the tall thing that looks like a giant antenna on the passenger side of the car in the pics taken "in the wilds"? Almost looks like a guy wire, but there's no pole in the background. :? By the way, the struts o...

Sharp lookin' ride!

Jim

Little by little, lookin' better and better.

Joe, if that's really you, Halleluiah!! If it's dictation to your "secretary", a big thanks to them. Either way, we hope you're back to your usual volume of sage advice soon.

You may have noticed that one of our most prolific posters, Joe Travers, hasn't posted since 12/26/23. https://www.cometcentral.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=16710 Turns out Joe suffered some serious complications from a mild case of Covid-19 that he had in early December, and has spent some time in...

I came across your thread a while back and thought you must have fallen off the edge of the earth. You kinda left us hanging on your project. :lol: Great to see you back. You do some really good custom work, but you're definitely going to need windows and AC in DWF. Not sure what happened to your pi...

Hey Chris.........since you're combing through your new ride to see what it needs, Rockauto has a lot of parts on clearance sale that you might want to shop through for stuff you might need.
