What Did You Do To Your G-Body Today? [2020]

When doing any front suspension removal, ALWAYS remember to wrap a chain through the center of the coil spring and lower A arm as a safety precaution. Once the ball joints disengage from the spindle, the coil spring can become a deadly uncontrolled missile!

Real men take the shock out and hammer the joint loose, never had a spring leaving anywhere💪

Real Men...…………..? Yeah, that way is possible, but so is the possibility of having the spring decide to take your face off because you tried to pry it out of somewhere that it called home and likely for quite a while. Been there, done that, still have one spring left to replace and then I can order the T-shirt. As for setting the chain in place as a safety measure, get the heaviest towing or pulling grade chain you can jam between the spring coils and use grade 8 Capscrews when you tie it off. Elsewise there is a very good chance that when the spring is done with you, your jaw will resemble a typewriter carriage and those two squishy things you just stepped on by mistake because you were in so much pain that you were just flopping around in agony will turn out to be your eyeballs that the spring just happened to rip out of their sockets on the way bye.

A real man is willing to take that risk.

Sad day. The El Camino should be moving on to its new owner tomorrow. The new owner will be using this one as a donor to get his 87 going. It sucks, but is still better than taking it to the junkyard.

That's too bad, looks like an easy build project, straight, and clean looking to me.
