In stalling new Mono spring

Started the tear down today on the right side. It was easy enough. The hard part was the 30 yrs. of never being replaced. After trying the hammer. I went straight for my smoke wrench. I'm in the welding business. After seeing the upper control arms. I decided to get new ones. So now the job is on hold until Friday or Monday. All depends on UPS. This gives me time to rebuild the calipers. Might as well I'm in there and I got the time.

I love UPS. I hate waiting on them though..

I checked out my frame, and it looks good. With me being a welder. I say If it ant broken. Don't fix it.. I've done everything except the rear spring. I should have done that when I did the rear end change. Money was tight. How hard was it??
