You sneak up on it first and spray all nuts and bolts with penitrating
oil at least one day prior to going for it.

I'm very interested in how the install (of the shocks) goes and and the
results achieved since this is one of the improvements I plan on doing
to my 79 B that I'm converting to V8, chrome bumpers and lowering.
I could compare my '70s ride compared to my '78 B, but that wouldn't do

I love my 75 B and ran it in timed obstacle coarse yesterday and was
only 3.5 seconds behind Barney Gaylord's MGA with his autocross tires
and all. I should also mention this was my first time competing in
anything like this. The sun was in my eyes, I tripped over a rock and
if that's not enough excuses for you I had my socks on the wrong feet.
