Hi,
I had the one that was making the rounds a couple of years ago and it went on to someone else…. I'm trying to think who…. so maybe it can get tracked down.

Alan

I just need 20 minutes with it ... Just like everyone else .. If I have to break down and buy one I will ... I don't want to put my springs back in and then take one back out after I have the front end back together

Hi,
My recollection is that a member, Terry F., 'invented' the tool years ago and made and sold them.
Then one of the vendors was selling them for a while.
Then member Mooser made one himself (I believe) and that's the one that came to me. I used it and it went to member Bill L. (1974ta).
Perhaps he still has it or remembers where it went next.

Alan

Contact "tfringo" he created the tool. Just last month he made a post saying he could rent some. See this link. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...pair-tool.html

Hi,
My experience is that the more dented in the frame saddle is the greater the results you can obtain will be.
I found I still needed to do some 'cosmetic' work on the surface before repainting.
