Adios everyone and see ya when we get back from crusin'
down to Curacao and Aruba off the coast of Venezuela.

So ya'll can sleep easy. Many of my in-progress photos
show a sissor jack and I get warnings not to use it. Yes,
I use the sissor jack but only to move things around. The
car is always supported on at least three points when I'm
working on it. Sometimes a 4th jack at frame level.
You see the sissor jack out of context in my photos.

Here is a photo of the car while I was replacing the broken
trailing arm. I am using the sissor jack to decompress the
coil spring as the T/A lowers off the shock arm link.

The car scares me just to drive it; it scares the heck out
me working under it. I work safe.

Have a great time Dale. I am sure you will return refreshed and ready to attack the Crypt car and show it who's boss.
