    takes less time without removing the parts. Disconnect the lower ball joint and let the spring fall out.

      clean for now

      Was long overdue for a wash! I used the spot-free rinse (lower pressure) to avoid damaging the paint in a few spots.

            You should see the metal I need to replace on my '68 Galaxie....quarter panels and entire trunk pan

            79lincolnlover, that does sound steep for labour on the springs/shocks but I'm sure it's night-and-day. I've got full sets of coils and shocks waiting for me to throw into my '87.

              Big improvement in ride-quality and handling.

                    I removed the sagging headliner a couple of weeks ago. The foam and board are still intact. Just got an oil-change and new hood-struts installed.

                      If the foam starts falling off, use a vacuum to take the foam off

                          I need to do this to my 88 too. BAH.

                            I've removed foam from half of the headliner. I put old sheets over the seats to catch crap. After I finish the rest, the interior will get a thorough cleaning.

                              Nothing worse on the inside than, a sagging headliner. Well, anything sagging is pretty terrible

                                playing with paint again

                                Painted the tire hump red to match the other red sections of the car. I up-loaded a pic to the album on my Facebook.
