more hard to distinguish work how about I start with where I walked away tonight... getting closer fun how easily it is to alight panels with a BFH and block of wood where it started before I whacked the door forward aforementioned BFH and block of wood where I started but still have a ways...

an issue to deal with.... I need to shrink the metal above the patch however first step is to make the fender fit... which, coincidentally means getting rid of rust a bit more trimming and it'll be just right

more fitting, huge problem.... the fender, above the wheelwell, bows out so I need to figure out how to clamp it in place to get the gentle curve me too.... I've owned this thing for nearly 10 years...

time to mark.... first grind then blue wait, first get interrupted by my year old tiny puppy dog now blue then trim the inner fender... 100th test fit and from another direction

more nibbles yeah, the side fell off and rust.... ugh starting to fit better I need to figure out what to do about the inner fender... some of me thinks I should put wider wheel wells in while I'm 'at' it.... and before you ask, the inner fender from the other 1/4 isn't a lot better....but...

more nibbles on the elephant I'm planning on using tig to put this back on, so perfect fit is good enough eventually, It'll all be bare metal more fitting why here? because I can get behind it with a hammer or dolly...

first, a tape line to measure off more fitting pretty close

nice, complete fender now broken interesting in all of this while fitting.. I think GM tolerances were +/- 1/4" I could literally weld this over the top of the current fender... which should make this very interesting trying to make it fit correctly a couple zips to hold it in place,now...

Car show last Saturday... fun times got quite crowded after this - they wanted my car on one of the main entrances... so I met a lot of people... a.... lot... of.... people... yeah me, Mr. People person... Lost in the 50s Sandpoint Idaho if you want to look it up. anyway, with that done I...

and what I actually did was remove the inner washer then crush the sleeve into the spindle.... I need to rework this but the problem is the sleeve is too large for the bolt so it allows the wheels to move enough to do what it did to those bolts/wheels this is for me so I can find it later

continuing with the rear [VIDEO] so what I'm trying is this... rather then a washer on either side of the bushing, I'm running the bushing into the mount (and the center tube then becomes the part that holds it all correctly) I don't know if this will work, I'm going to order solid heim joints...

Oh the wonderful world of 'quick' fixes the axles arrived today - even quality brand... but they're wrong remember the bit before about the different diameter of the axle shafts? these are all the same size... they are also 1" different side to side (which probably explains the problem with...

tonight.... started reassembly it's just awkward enough that I had to get clever putting it back in but it's now in I still don't know how to get the other half shaft out - I suppose pounding will come into play soon... but right now I don't need to so I'll let it percolate in the background...

time to disassemble and replace parts I didn't intend to replace first - same length different girth. I thought it went on the passenger side,nope and the culprit for the rubbing - I hate it when the voice in my head says "that won't work" but I silence it with "they know what they're doing"...

the right way to fix the rubbing issue and I found the problem the poly bushing failed... the bolt just wobbles in the hole... so now to figure out how to make the adjust shafts out of johnny joints... I wasn't thrilled with the non-lube simple heim joint on the frame side, but apparently...

welcome... I did similar but used a Gen 5 Camaro suspension

so I phoned a friend who is a GM tech.... the larger shaft goes on the driver's side. What happens is the shaft twists under hard acceleration, then snaps back and you get axle tramping.... learnin' time to take it all apart. It's strange when you realize that you'll actually make money on...

I have trouble with axle tamping. In one of my google searches I came across a statement by g-force that the thick axle goes on the driver's side. According to them, the tamping is cause by the tire loading and unloading due to the twisting of the axle shaft... sure enough, I've got the thick...

since I had the epoxy out, I did a fix on the corners... they crack on the outside, inside it looks fine but this should stiffen up the joint

I don't know but there is so much I love about all of that.... that d arm between the rear spindles is a new one to me.... who knows, that would be a solution to my current issue with my C3
