there are notch calcs on the net that allow you to plug stuff in and you print the template, wrap around the tube, mark, and cut. it isnt full proof (and likely will not work with compound curves), but i figured id let you know in case you arent already aware. i googled it and here is the...

holy crap, i am not the only one that calls them exploders!!! awesome OP! aside from having to pay 2x on the insurance and reg, having a second car is always really nice.

here is a quick and dirty trick you may or may not be interested in: when i bought my 3rd gen stock, i knew i was going to mod it so i started looking at mods before i even bought a 3rd gen (i knew that is what i wanted). there was no way in hell i was going to remember all of this stuff or the...

im having trouble following your story here. your 3rd gen has a lot of miles (a lot do), but you have a good engine and trans. what are you restoring? youre in OC so rust isnt a likley issue? i see you mention a paint job, those arent cheap okay i get that, but you bought a used part off ebay...

so, its not a new rack? youre replacing a used rack with another used rack?

how in the hell can something like this not have a TOC?! thats nuts.

this isnt complete, there is no TOC. i dont think ive seen a single, complete, working PDF version of a 3rd gen manual on the net. appreciate people uploading them, but we need the whole thing.

yes, of course they can be re-used, but as you said: why? the kit is cheap enough. just buy a new kit and keep the old bushings as spares or something. why spend all of that money to put used bushings in them, even if they are poly. poly bushings wear as well. they arent this magical bushing...

i figured thank you. i have a press, but i hate the thing and refuse to use it.

does doing the front wheel bearings require a press? i have a press, but i absolutely hate using it. in at 241k and im pretty sure mine are squeaking and are the OG ones as well.

are you welding in long strings/beads? what we do with our mig on parts we think will warp is basically lay one bead at a time if we dont have any jig or fixture to keep from warping. has worked well for us in the past.

there is no such thing as free money.

god i wish this would die. this information is not correct; a quick google and 60 seconds of reading and you would know this. yes we will pay it back as a nation down the road in one way or another, but we are not individually paying these back next tax season.

saving it so i can hopefully move to a better place later this year. i did however get poly bushings to compliment my adjustable sway end links. its been tough not to spend my donnie duckets on bumpers, but i know ill have to buy stiffer springs, etc so im going to have to hold off until...

haha, i see makes sense.
