Re: Lawson, How are you doing?
Lawson, I feel your pain. We can still work on these old Fords just not at the pace or with the strength we once did. We get there in the end just takes a little longer.

Re: Lawson, How are you doing?
It's a nice warm day here and molasses are pouring nicely. As some of us old codgers say, I'm within the width of a red ..... of getting the spring where I want/need it to be to insert the links. Tolerances are mighty close I am finding out. I believe someone above said something about replacing shackle bushings in 20 minutes. All I can say to that is, MY ARSS. LOL

Re: Lawson, How are you doing?
Gloves Lawson....Gloves. They make some now you can actually do work with while wearing them. I resisted for a long time but got tired of bleeding.
Heal up and get back at it. |

Re: Lawson, How are you doing?
Duce Roadster, I've tried gloves over and over but just haven't found any I can work in.
FINALLY, I have the bushings in and the task complete. Now all I have to do is get Apatchy off of the jack stands and back on his feet. Feelin' good about the job. Thanks for all of the hints and encouragement along the way.

Re: Lawson, How are you doing?
