Notice when she wants something, she just goes out and buys it. When we want something we have to beg for it.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
there was a saying about that i think something about it being better to apoligize after doing the purchase than to ask for permission before buying

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Not sure if it comes with the territory of being a career soldier or not, thought it certainly seems to... But I am on my 3rd marriage.
After strike one and two, I told this one up front that if she ever got to be more trouble than she was worth I would kick her to the curb. I have to remind her of that once every 3-5 years, but so far has been pretty effective and worked out well. That and seperate bank accounts certainly keeps the "discussions" about what and where I am spending to a drastic minimum.

And the stuff they buy ends up in a yard sale on $1 table.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Dennis - Which KBS coating did you use, BlackTop or RustSeal? Was that frame sandblasted or what prep did you use?

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
I used to install them like this. A tip though, when you make a the hole in the lower control arm for the lower shock mount weld some thick washers for reinforcement or the shock bolt will crack the lower control arm where the hole is.
And be careful where you install the shock. Make sure your tires don't rub on them when turning all the way to lock. At times I adjusted the stops so the wheel won't hit them. ![]()
