    So I began to take my front end off just the fact that im tired of seeing it all ugly looking and wanna replace my fenders bumper grill etc....i took out my A/C unit just because i dont use A/C and plus it didnt work....As I was Taking everything off i Noticed on my pass. upper Control Arm A Bolt Was Missing i was WTF now alot of my suspension problems make sense so after looking at it the carefully that control arm is bent so I guess now I gotta Swap in my 84 Suspension and It just puts me back further and High School Drags is next month and i know i wont make it...sux but oh well always next year
