I met up with Dick Trickle at a Target store...he must have been driving the Target car at some point? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

When we went up to look at the car on display at the Target store in Orange...I noticed how small the cars look in 'person'...

I went up to Dick and he asked if I wanted an autograph...I politely said no. Then I asked him if that was really his name. He got a bit mad...soooooo, Lynn and I went into the store...end of story. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

You should have asked him for a cigarette, he was one of the last smokers in NASCARs top series. Famous for lighting up a butt during the caution periods! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

The best tool I know of is by OTC. It has two heavy plates that go between the coil. Then an all thread type center section uses a bearing and a heavy nut to compress the spring. I have never had a safer tool, and I have used many different types. They cost between 3 to 5 hundred dollars depending on vendor...BKH
