got the bushings out of the front arms via a 50 ton press. Bit overkill but fun

Went down to my uncles shop and he popped them out with the flip of a switch and I stood and watched with amazement. Do you know what kinds of fun things you could smash to bits with a press that big??? It got me thinking

Now I am cleaning the arms so I can put a light coat of paint on them as the look beat up. This will be all but gone within a couple weeks of driving but it cures my minor ocd for now so I am doing it. Powerflex bushings go in tonight then I sit on my hand until I can move forward a little more...

Yup... The big Powerflex bushes are only 1/2 way there... NOW is the time to do it right...
