Steel Drivin' Man

Got my workout tonight - developing "garage arms" (har har). Spent the evening until dark wailing on 80-year old Henry Ford steel. Was unsuccessful (but got close) beating on a Model A front axle and wishbone assembly to liberate the wishbone. Need it for the upcoming cut-and-graft trick to extend my '34 wishbone to the requisite '32 wishbone length.

She won tonight: got one spring perch nut removed and drove out the perch, but the other perch nut took a cutoff wheel and cold chisel and still wouldn't let go. We'll see how she stands up to the hot wrench tomorrow.
