HEHE find the wonderful uses of the AIR HAMMER!. Soak in WD40 then hammer away.


P.S. Thanks for keeping the faith Dead... I am still waiting on the die... But do have the bender at least.

Do a search I think spoon might make them I used to have the other guys page marked. He makes a coil over kit for the front of our 3rds that cuts out close to 75 pounds!. I will search again and try to find it. http://www.globalwest.net/camaro93.htm
