Louis’ Trailing Arm Update!

Hey guys,

I talked to the Tyler's Toys guy as everyone suggested. Great guy, but shipping to WIsconsin from Vegas was just nuts. The Corvete shop I found rebuilt em for $288. He reveresed the bolts too on the trailing arm, now its int he spindle. So you don't have to lift a 30LB arm in. Nice setup actually.... Ont he passanger spindle assembly we noticed as we were installign them, the e-brak adjusting pin is too long, so the assemble rubs,a nd the springs hit together... not good. So hes gatta fix that one side. Well, I've been sick these past two days, really sick. But I was determined to get the power steering componets out, so I cna get new ones on a core. And get the majority of the rear-end finsihed. And start ont he inside. We got out there today, 9 hours straight....... Here's what happened:

You guys may call me nuts, but I do it because I love her.
Also who ever owned this car before me was a fat chick. What give me this conclusion was because under the seat when we removed it was a red painted fingernal (press-on), a sagitarious horoscope from 1985. And a cigarette butt from brown marlboro lights. Also an L&M brand cigarette taht was un-used, and so stal I could use it has the pivot bolt for the trailing arm.
But wait, how do I know she was mass fat?
Here is the clincher..... SHE BUSTED THE WELDS ON THE SEAT FRAME!

Ain't that the truth?

nice job and pics too , Louis, see chose the fiber glass mono spring,it will handle great!

l00l, thanks guys. With my 7.2 megapixel Casio camera the resolution is originally over 3,000 pixes on height, and width. So I like to size em down to 1,024X768. And then size em down on the post. I just send the power steering componets VIA FedEx to Lonestar CAliper in Texas for rebuild. THey ship DHL, that means I won't get my components back until may of 2009. DHL is officially worse than UPS. After their merger with Airborn Express, my computer case came from CA, to NV like 3 months late. And the driver came withan Airborn Express truck, that was running on TWO, not one, but yes.. TWO donut wheels. He was like 71 years old, and mean... he was wearing streat clothes, and smoking a lucky-strike... l00l
