There once was a man from Nantucket...

Just got off the phone with someone up at Chino Valley Salvage. Sounded a bit older. He wasn't interested in the damaged core or fenders, but he suggested I bring along a set of 16" aluminum wheels from the Talon and we'd talk.

So I'm headed up there first thing Saturday morning to collect Galant bits. I've never pulled a core support before, so hopefully I can get some tips before I go?

Is it just a matter of drilling out the spot welds and *gently* prying apart? Or should I see if I can talk someone up in the Prescott area into lending me a cordless sawzall for a morning? Obviously, I'll see about practicing on the one in my garage first. Jut hope the batteries in my cheap-o cordless drill hold up!

Thanks, David!

Just get a sawzall and cut it just in front of the strut tower... Then you can take it home and do it slow and nice at home... Could you get some strut up to me that are in the valley ??..There for JV Starion parts ... He needs them to make some SB race struts ...But shipping is a problem do to them being so heavy... I what to gut one and ship him one whole ...Call me 928-583-2584...

Don't forget! If I'm going to be picking up some Starion struts down here to bring them with me, I'm going to need confirmation that they're paid for and ready to be picked up prior to going! winking smiley

I'm snagging Ray's van at around 0700hrs on Saturday to head up there.
