Wow, Pat, is there anything you can't do? I'm starting to believe, as Dan says, that you really are Superman. Did you do those welds with your laser vision?

Hey Tim,
I don't do windows! Don't look at those welds too close - you could hang your coat on them....They are pretty rough. Nothing a gtinder cna't smooth out though.

You did not miss much Dan! No apology needed. We are back at it @ 9 am tomorrow - stop by if you can - I have ice cold Blue Moons and Fat Tire's in the little fridge! Come around noon and we can get some lunch.
We got the front suspension changed out on the Mera - 1" lowering balljoints and cut springs. Then we tore the rear suspension apart and re lubed all the poly. In the middle of that, we went over to a junkyard and bought a bed for Jan's truck. He will be over in the AM to install it on his red truck. Should be fun!

Are those Rodney ballljoints? I have been thinking about installing a set of them in my car. How much did it lower it with the cut springs and ball joints?[This message has been edited by Jake_Dragon (edited 03-19-2011).]

Hey Jake!
Yes they are RD's 1" lowering ball joints. Before we had about 4" between the tire and the outer rim of the wheel opening. Now we have about 1.5" so we took 2.5" out in the front.

Got some exhaust work done today - it's nearly there!
Muffler mounted and everything is tacked or welded in place.



This week I will pull the exhaust out and finsih up all the welding, reinstall the rear bumper and finish the tips. Hope to be driving it around town next Weekend!
More later!
