Now I need control arms...anybody have a spare stocker laying around?

Yeah, making up a jig for that would be rather simple...I don't think I'm doing that right away, but I might do it in the future.  I guess I'll pony up for two bushings...might just keep'em rubber...depends...if I go the the J/Y and pick up some uppers, then I'll slap poly in 'em...that way I'm not without my car for too long.

I pulled the control arms out .... installed new bushings .... welded the uppers .... and put it back together in 4 hours.

That would necessitate me going to work with my uppers already off the car...and would burn roughly 2hrs round trip depending on traffic...lol.  It just works better for me to get some(anybody have any stock uppers?) and take them to work, do what needs to be done, come home and spend an hour slapping them in...because I know it wouldn't take me much longer than that.  Eh, I need to get my arse in gear and it doesn't look like it's happening as soon as I had hoped...depends on how long it takes to source some good stock uppers.

Not to shamelessly promote CHE, but I'm happy with mine so far - been beating on them for a while.
