<VV> Project planning - front end rebuild/gas tank/dual mc

[Harry Yarnell]

No, front suspension doesn't have to come down, but it REALLY makes R&R'ing 
the tank easier; but then removing the front suspension is no piece of cake 
(can you say frozen fasteners, boys and girls?). The sway bar MUST come 
down.
