You know it seems like i can never find the 57 pcs that i`m looking for. As careful as i was when the tear down started, bagging labeling putting in boxes and eventually even making a list on the outside of the boxes identifying what was in the content of said box, I still can`t locate everything. It is very frustrating. I was working on the 57 this evening and could`nt locate 3 bolts that i know had to come off the car. So is it just me or is this a universal problem/phenominon? Thanks for listening,Terry.

Only 3 bolts????? I usually can not even find the tool after I used it! I just bought one of those magnetic trays so the stuff stays put till I can put it back on or store it away. Now where did I put the tray?

....and then comes the roll of twine so you can tie the roaming tools to your belt for easier retrieval.

Guys the 3 bolts was just todays incident. It`s always something it seems. And i know i put everything up for the process of going back together.

Terri, It's not just you. Those items we all look for go to the same place the missing socks go to. Among the missing is best I can tell

Then, when you're all done you'll wind up with leftover parts.

chevman57 · 08-06-2006, 03:25 PM

No worry on the leftovers. There`s a 4dr 210 waiting in the wings, and a 72 chevelle.

I ran into that problem yesterday. I was reassembling the frame. I knew I put those bolts where I would trip over them. No one has been working in the garage but me. It must been an evil troll.
