How to Install coil springs

This is how Corbin and I felt after trying to install the coil springs initially with the coil spring compressor. It was the right compressor, just the wrong technique...

AS ALWAYS, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS PER YOUR INSTRUCTIONS THAT COME WITH THE COMPRESSOR AND BE AWARE OF THE POTENTIAL HAZARDS. COIL SPRINGS ARE VERY DANGEROUS. I AM NOT A CERFTIFIED MECHANIC AND THIS IS NOT A TECHNICAL BULLETIN OR AUTOMOTIVE MANUAL- FOR REFERENCE ONLY.

I started this blog for the purpose of keeping track of my Firebird build. I am not a mechanic for a living but a hobbyist. I am a father of two young boys. When I am not hanging out with them or doing God stuff, I am working on this car. It is my passion.

I do not have a particular build style other than this: My Style. The hope at the end of this is that this car will be thoroughly Pontiac and thoroughly second gen!

Hopefully this will be helpful and enjoyable to all who read it. I am on a tight budget with this car but have learned (and am learning) that it is very important to do it right. Sooo, it will be done in a manner that is both budgetary and functional. Just as so its burnout capable, that will be good enough for me.

Thanks for following along.
