SAY AHH!!!!


Pulled the 305 today, but it didn't want to come out. Think this thing has truck frt. mts in it!! No clearance to floor or firewall. Had to drop the mts. to engine block to get some room. Anyway my neighbour Len came up to give a hand & it was needed, that's len [ ZZtop band member] not!! by the engine . New engine lift worked great, like the air assist, no jacking,[thanks "princess auto" ] I will take some shots of mounts for any guess's   PetePicture 090.jpgPicture 091.jpgPicture 092.jpgPicture 093.jpgPicture 094.jpgPicture 094.jpgPicture 094.jpg

A "clean shop" is a "Happy" shop. I can't stand having a shop where you are climbing over or around stuff!!! Some of my car club members say it's too clean to work in or I'm a clean freak" Some of their garages you can't find the car "buried" in the collection of 'it's all good junk" & by the pictures I "do work" in there, just clean up when I'm done!! Posted last picture too many times,as only 4 showed up on "preview" so add 5th & still only 4,did it again ETC.

 Kudos to you! I couldn't agree more. I had my stock car based out of a quonset for two seasons at a friend's acreage. It was nice of him to let me use it......but after two years I just couldn't take it anymore.

It was a regular event to have to "un-ball" two or three air lines, spend an hour to find a drill and even though you could get maybe 6 vehicles in there, my race car would just squeeze in the junk. My friend had this idea that a shop should be in a shambles I guess.

He has worked hard to get it decent again, but if it was under control to begin with, it shouldn't have been such a big chore.
