We live in a little town of 70 people, and the rules are pretty lax, compared to a lot of places. We have room to set something up while still living in the damaged house, so I'll do all I can legally before getting the pros to do their stuff and get inspections done.

Thanks for the support, Bob! It is sincerely appreciated.

Thanks, Torchie. I've been going to PT for the foot, and they have been doing something called "dry needling" It feels like they *** a 16 penny nail attached to an air chisel into my heel then hit the trigger for a minute or two. In reality, I do believe they use acupuncture needles. I honestly...

Thanks, Bman...we can actually buy a used modular or trailer and set it up cheaper than it would be to repair the old adobe house...and even if we fix it, there's no guarantee it won't fail in a different place later. We're pretty committed at this point to find something else to put on our...

I may have to sell the '56 July has been a tough month for us...I developed Plantar Fasciitis that makes it hard to stand or walk much...then I developed a mysterious inflammation that causes muscle and nerve spasms in my neck, shoulders and back.and yesterday a big chunk of one of the exterior...

Brakes are good. :D

I'm thinking a widened fiberglass '32 Vicky mud bogger body, made to fit would be danged cool. But I'm kinda weird. :D

Same here...

I had the same question...is the $4,000 in addition to a vehicle and parts you already have on hand?

I'm with you, Doc! No more no-name parts. I realize not all Moog parts are made in the USA anymore, but at least they are made to Moog's standards (hopefully). I got lucky...all four ball joints I bought for the Ford say made in USA on the box. The Moog tie rod ends will be here tomorrow. I'll...

Front Suspension Redux As some of you know, I had front lower ball joint failure on the Ford. Upon disassembly, I found both ball joints on the passenger side to be nearly impossible to move by hand. They seem to be "grinding", almost bound up. I got all new Moog parts for both sides to...

Thanks! I got a pretty good case of the shivers myself while I was waiting to be rescued. There were so many IF's that were involved, It's a wonder things weren't much worse. I got the new shocks yesterday, and the rest of the suspension parts should be here Tuesday. I'll post the progress on my...

I got the car off the trailer and went to a friend's yesterday to take a spindle off of a Camaro in his yard. I'll get pics when I start disassembling the front end.

Thanks! I appreciate the input.I've never messed with coilovers, and am flying blind, relying on what I read. :)

Doc, I hear you. I only came to the cotter pin as the culprit after breaking one with my bare hands by prying it open an inch or so. I also thought that maybe the stud was inferior, and the threads just gave up. But that would still involve the cotter pin being sheared off. A friend and I have...

As you may have read in the weekend thread, I had a ball-joint come apart on my '56. I have decided to go through the entire front suspension with a very critical eye to see if anything else looks amiss. I think, while I have everything apart, I'll replace the coil springs and stock shocks with...

Went to a show, had catastrophic failure on way home. When I built this car, I wanted to make sure it was dependable and safe to drive around corners at high speed, which is something I really enjoy. I put new everything in the Camaro suspension under my '56. New brake pads and rotors on all...

It's official... My wife wasn't imagining things. This is from an article from the Associated Press... "...Lake Powell, a giant reservoir downstream in Utah and Arizona, is expected to rise 50 feet this year, said Marlon Duke, a spokesman for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, which manages...

My wife said she saw an article stating that Lake Powell is 50 feet (FIFTY FEET!) higher than last year. I need to see if I can find corroboration...that's nuts.
