Did some exploratory wrenching today. Found out I’m able to loosen the bolts on the rear shocks, so I’ll do those Thursday. Couldn’t get the front to budge. I’ll give it another try after more PB blaster, but if I have to take it to a pro at least I’ll have it half done. With the front and rear sway bars installed, all I’m waiting for is the bracket to mount my sparco Sprint. Then STR class here I come! (Where I’ll promptly get demolished by NDs and NCs)

How long is the breaker bar that you used to loosen the bolts?

Bah! I have new shocks for my ‘61 Ford, and I’m not sure they aren’t original. I expect to need a hacksaw.

Not long enough. I used an 18" bar to get mine off, and the bolts weren't bad rust-wise.
