    Max Damage I'm working on it!

    Seriously. I love how the easy-out broke flush to the broken bolt. Murphys law.

    Almost worse than a carbide drill. At least you can fragment carbide.

    Well, I bit the bullet. I figured that as long as I’m going to tear the front suspension apart to replace the control arm bushings, I might as well convert the front brakes to discs. I just finished ordering The Right Stuff kit from Summit.

    Ha... that was exactly my thought too! I got the CPP kit from OPG and it's on my list of things to do. Next is the cooling system, though.

    That thing sounds sweet, good work!!

    I think this is my new favorite quote. Might have to go in my sig now! Or maybe I should just get it as a tattoo? :D

    You better stop now or your next post will be asking how to remove a body bolt that just spins in the body! :D

    Your on the right track!
    Just keep going, also, its MUCH easier to do suspension work with just a bare frame, plus you can paint it:p

    Summit still hasn’t shipped it. Maybe because it’s coming to Canada? Shipping is pretty backed up these days.
