Like it says, dont you just hate it when u misplace parts... I tore apart my front suspension on my 54, and now that I and trying to put it together I cant find all the damn nuts that hold the cross shafts in!!! you know the big one that has the nipple for the grease fittings in them. I tried looking for the pieces individually on chevsofthe40's and nationchevyasso but they sell me the whole shaft with the bolt and i don't need them all... Dose anyone know where I can find them separate? Or better yet does anyone have an old clip they can take them off and sell me?
Whenever I misplace anything and all my searching for hours yields nothing, I break down and ask my wife to help me find it. She usually locates the lost item in about a minute or so and silently hands it to me with a condescending smile and goes back in the house without saying a word. Really pisses me off, but I get the missing part.
Ive got a whole garage full of parts I cant find,I have a 5 gallon homedepot bucket I use for bolts ,Just for the car,Havent lost a bolt yet and sandwhich bags are great also....I throw them in the bucket ,You need the ziplock........
My garage, such as that is, is home to a couple of portals to another dimension. That is where all my misplaced parts go.
Go out there and start looking for your missing 1/2" wrench or phillips screwdriver. While looking for them, your bolts will magically appear. You won't be able to find your tools though.
I rebuilt the engine in my Dodge truck and for the life of me, I could not figure out where I put my harmonic balancer. I looked everywhere and then remembered that I had taken a bunch of stuff to the wrecking yard. OH CRAP!!! I went outside to tell my wife that I was going to the yard to possibly find it. I turned around and saw it holding up the corner of my house! I had used it as a shim to raise the house a couple of inches.
