    Wanted to buy - Rear upper & lower control arms

    Hi, I'm looking to buy a stock set of upper and lower rear control arms. Preferably in good shape from a low mile car. Thanks!

    I just realized I didn't answer your question. It's a three car tandem, so the tandem side is 32' 6" deep and the other is 21' 2". The width is 20' 6" at its widest. I thought it would be great. After having it, I'd really just call it a glorified 2 1/2 car garage. If you wanted to do nothing...

    Yeah, I had it on car dollies, so the front bumper could not have been any further forward. My last jack stands were donated to the scrapper before I moved and I haven't picked up any new ones yet. Good tip on the tennis ball. I had those at my first house. I found some cool rubber bumper...

    No kiddin'! You're a good man. I said the same thing until my wife suggested parking the Jeep outside. It's nice to have an all GM garage! LMAO Thank God for autostart, right?

    Great minds think alike. We kinda tried that too and no dice. Maybe if I completely changed my setup it would give me enough room, but I didn't have the time or patience left to do it that night. Even then it would be so close, I'd probably being calling a garage door company to replace a...

    No, they already had a janitor. :LOL: My loose grip of math would have prohibited me from getting any other jobs there. I'm probably a bigger fan of planes and aviation history than I am of cars. Just a huge fan, that's all.

    That's a great idea, but it's easier to park my wife's Jeep outside. LMAO! I'm kidding. I might try that one. Thanks!

    I was hoping to avoid the expense. But I guess that's my only legit solution now. I researched one for my Dad a dozen or so years ago. I heard a lot of them are made in friggin China now. Any tips on good ones these days?

    The Story of My Life

    I thought all "car guys" would get a kick out of this. To make a long story short, I'm a transplant to CO and my wife and I built a house last year. For anyone that's done it, God bless you. I can only describe the process as the same feeling as having a sharp rock in your shoe during a marathon...

    Turbo Regal Mechanic/Tuner Needed in Colorado

    Thanks, man. Hopefully they'll just keep harassing us front rage guys! Stock for now. I'll see if I have what it takes to play around in the coming two years I have before my next test. I told my wife "the friggin car will be 30 years old the next time it's tested!" Oh well. Rules are rules -...

    Turbo Regal Mechanic/Tuner Needed in Colorado

    Well, the praying and most of your formula got me passed! I used 91, with some octane boost. I went for a nice ride and the SM showed me a coolant temp of 195 as I was pulling into the testing station. They ran it through twice, but it passed. It was fun talking to people about the car. I had...

    Turbo Regal Mechanic/Tuner Needed in Colorado

    Oh boy, that's really encouraging! LMAO I guess we'll see. I'll take your advice and keep 'em crossed. I've got all the stock stuff back in it now with a fresh cat (maybe 1100 miles). Finding 93 around here is a real pain in the butt, too. I see a whole of 91, but never see 93. I ordered an...

    Kirbans Column Mount Scanmaster Bracket

    Hi. I don't have one for sale, but just installed one. FWIW, I think it's well worth the $ and is great. Perfect spot, right in your line of sight and sturdy. Very cool. I think you'll like it. Good luck.

    Turbo Regal Mechanic/Tuner Needed in Colorado

    Hi, Lance. I'm Kurt. That sounds great. After my last post, I noticed a very heavy smell of gas in the oil. I had no desire to mess with the fuel rail and all that BS and a neighbor of mine referred me to Seyfer Automotive in Wheat Ridge. They are a pretty cool shop. They do some custom stuff...

    Turbo Regal Mechanic/Tuner Needed in Colorado

    Well, I got the SM this afternoon and hooked it up tonight. I went for a little spin and the beast is running crappy. It was never a screamer, but it's not really pulling like it used to at WOT and felt like it didn't want to ever shift out of second. Anyway, I am most concerned about how my...

    Turbo Regal Mechanic/Tuner Needed in Colorado

    Thanks for the offer for help. I went ahead and bit the bullet and ordered a SM tool from Kirban today. When I get it hooked up (God willing) lol I'll shoot you some numbers to see what you think. This is the first real thing I've ever done with this car other than a radio swap! I never wanted...
