Re: For Gramps (1970 C20 RestoMod)

UPDATE:

This past week the cold has dropped onto Utah with no regret. Went from 40s to single digits overnight. I dont believe I will ever get used to winters, but needless to say, for a few nights I was shoveling and just trying to get accustomed. But I know I have to keep plugging, so I made a goal to get the front coils and control arms off.

I am happy to report that this can now be checked off. I read a lot of threads in preparation for this step. My biggest concern was the coils, having never removed one in my life, let alone with just the jack stand; but it worked just fine.
