some work on the 67 Thunderbird...
upper control arm bushings, the originals only lasted 40 years on a 5000 pound luxury liner 4 door Landau. Had lots of help from my buddys Fred and Frank. Was good shop day, nice to have lift. Put the Bird on the lift, pulled the wheels, lowered it back down on jack stands, broke the spundle free at the upper ball joint/control arm, then pulled the control arm. And thankfully no explosive decompression on the spring.
Car "sits" much better now and no squeeks from the suspension, and of course also handles like it did the first time I drove her 21 years ago.... and I am proud of the tag....

Those 4-door T-Birds have really grown on me. Nice job!

Go Gators! Ba-bee! I'm not just a fan, I is one.
and the Santa Clara car is tucked away under the cover below the F in Firestone in the second pic.

and on another note, if anyone is ever in a boneyard and finds one of these 67 models with the front brake calipers on it, I would be happy to compensate you for them if they are decent. They are dual piston Kelsey-Hayes units with racing type wire securing the hardware, and that was factory equipment, so I would like to have some spares in the garage...
