I am certainly envious of those who get to start from scratch and get things done the right way!

So yesterday Jesse was helping me put the body bushings and lift on. All bolts came out easy the rubber bushings came out with a little help of a hammer and pickle fork. She was putting the bushing in right behind the seats and the inner sleeze dropped out she thought it hit the ground picked one off of the floor where I was working long story short why in the he'll did Ford cut a hole in the frame right under the bushing and just big enough for the sleeve to slide right through it. Used the rear carpet hold down and a magnet tapped to it , to pull it out the back of the frame.

Almost everyone has experienced that frustration. I even had tried to take over it to prevent it but accidently knocked the cardboard out of the way and had it happen. Used the shop vac and some length of PVC. So frustrating.

It's been a long time coming for the shop. But it is making it easier. For 13 years I was working out of a car port so not much got done.
