If it was up to the guy that had to put it back together(me) the car wouldn't have crashed. But it was a little out of my hands at times.

Yep every one of my racecars has had heims on pretty much every suspension part. In the midget and sprint cars though we would change them out every year or so. The mud does eventually deteriorate them

You need to go get a roll of Gorilla Tape and play around with it. That stuff is some of the strongest tape I have ever used and just make sure you don't stick it to skin or you are in for a painfull learning experience.

BP was 120/80. Drove the Expedition and blew her out a little once I got the flat spots off. I forget how nice that thing is. Washed it. Now has 9044 miles on it.

Completely forgot about that! I did talk to my buddy with the shop and he said whit his business taking off he doesn't have the time to do them as his machines are running 24/7 as is. Then I never got around to making better drawings. And of course wont be able to do it till after next weekend. The Gf's dad and his gf are staying with us for a week(coming out tonight) and they are staying in our spare room where my desktop is with all my cad/cam stuff
