Burning Brakes
After checking out Juliet's Corvette I decided to paint some parts that I know I will get points knocked off for but it's ok, I won't have parts needing rust prevention all the time.
Tonight events!
I may dull this down with some flat clear but not sure yet.
Enjoy! I sure am...

I was just today wondering what OEM shocks would go for, if they could be found. Man that is nuts!!

Hello is there anybody out there?
Well the new job has been going well and I am finally ready to get back to work!!
Funds are still a little tight but rebounding there too. I am trying to figure out if it's possible for me to reassemble my TArms myself to save a few $100's and get this project back on track.
I have been away so long now I am a little nervouse I will struggle remembering where everything goes at this point but hoping it's like riding a bike. I will post up some new pics soon as I get going again. Thanks for all the prayers and words of encouragement.

Hey FC, was wondering what happened to you, good to hear you're landing on your feet and getting back out in the garage. I'm sure once you start working on your Vette things will start coming back to you. As for the TA's personally I'd let someone else do that, from what I've read it's a tedious process and special tools are needed - I could be wrong though, it wouldn't be the first time

Very good to hear things are looking up!
I did my trailing arms many years ago, so I can be of no help with the procedure. Many experts on here can. I do recall that it was a tedious job and I think I had to borrow a tool. The way I look at it is if you get stuck, you can always farm it out at that point.
Regards,
Bob
