Mike,
Want to thank you again for all of your hard work in keeping Pantera Place at the cutting edge of the hobby! I'm sure most of us here have used your site numerous times and found the answers we were looking for. I just finished installing new shocks, springs,& all A-arm bushings on my car this week & probably would not have attempted replacing the bushings had it not been for Fred Terry's excellent "How To" explanation on your site. Had a machinist friend of mind make Fred's bushing removal device and it worked like a charm. Only casualties during the whole process were two 6" vices that I broke using a 3' breaker bar on the handles of & that luckily happened on the last A-arm. Had to have those two pressed out at an auto parts store with a hydraulic press. If not for Fred's description of the process I would have probably resorted to sending my A-arms to a vendor for replacement & that would have meant many $$ in labor. I'm no master mechanic by any means but with your site & Fred's help I was able to accomplish my goal with hardley a scraped knuckle!
As I'm sure many of the members of this BB know, Mike depends on donations from people like us that use his site. I donate every year to help him keep the site up & running & I urge everyone else to do likewise - every little bit helps. I'm not done with all the planned work on my P-car & I'd sure hate to see Pantera Place go away! Thanks Again Mike & keep up the great work!
BTW, If anyone out there is contemplating replacing their bushings, feel free to contact me & I'll be happy to loan you Fred's bushing removal tool I had made - will only cost you the shipping to get it to you. Just drop me a line at bob(at)dodgecarroll.com
