Haha, this project is dramatic for sure. There's a certain amount of unpredictability working on this versus working on the Camaro, which is easier and throws less curveballs. While I'm definitely going to sub some work out, I take a lot of pride in doing what I can in the garage.
The next project is really going to be yet another first for me, torsion bar and key removal. The more and more I look at that lower control arm, the more I don't like it. The flaking rust shale is giving me the heebee jeebies. I've never messed around with these types of suspension systems and from what I've seen, they can bite if not careful. The Camaro will be outside during these experiments with removal in case of flying debris.
I ordered my 2" Rough Country lift kit this afternoon. This kit comes with new torsion keys, shocks and lift blocks for the rear. I have a slew of other parts on the way as well. As you can see I've started tearing into it, which is slow. I have to stop every few minutes and sweep up piles of rust shale.
