My new Formula has a vacuum leak somewhere. Long story but she blew out a plug and once fixed now has a 1850rpm idle.  I think a vacuum line got messed up extracting the broken plug.  Idle was fine before the plug blew out.

If you start a separate thread for that, I'll help you find the leak.

Scott, my Dodge had built in balljoints.  The control arms had to be replaced.  Have you checked to see if just balljoints are available?

The silver car is the one that collected the tree with the A-pillar. Was parted out before the COVID became a thing.
The green car (I actually thought it was blue, but whatever) is the one that they went and trailered back from Harry's. It had been utilized - with only marginal success - to stop a dump truck with it's back bumper. It's still on the trailer, I think.

Ah, yes.  Thanks.  I saw blue, too, but I'm apparently color-blind.

Well, I don't care for that color greenish, and the original pics looked good to me, so I went with blue.  Up close, the paint did not look so good.  Maybe greenish.

A used car dealer once told me that 90% of a good paint job is preparation.  They always prepped their own paint jobs, then had Maaco paint them.

The problem with Maaco was that their paint room was often filthy.

I've seen Ridler quality paint jobs come out of old chicken houses with a booth made of clear plastic
