    Oh, by the way, Paul that hand jive caper probably would’ve worked when I was around 27 I was quite the bull nowadays not so sure about lifting anything. I don’t even know how I’m gonna get the doors off that thing when it gets to it.

    That’s how I pulled the transmission last time with a pallet on it thanks I had better access to them back then. Thanks for that.

    im thinking of just pulling the wheels off and putting my motorcycle jack under the drum,,,i sold my last harley around 5 years ago,,,now im going to modify that thing a bit and use it to swap out the transmission with it also,,,,i dont have enough room to swing the hoist around where it is and turning the truck around requires alotta manuvers

    That’s a genius. I wasn’t thinking that I was just going to pull up both wheels and tie a chain around the brake drum you’re away sounds easier thanks for that

    But that’s the one thing good about a garage that doesn’t matter you can pull shit apart and just leave the bolts laying on the floor as well as just leaving the stuff there when you get done besides by the time you get done with the job you’re usually exhausted and don’t feel like picking up anything

    I have 30 feet of workbench space entire length just about a one side up until a couple of weeks ago. I couldn’t even lay down a pack of cigarettes anywhere on the 30 feet. I finish a job and I usually just leave the shit sitting there actually, the work benches are the only Thing that has always cluttered. I picked up a little bit of shit a couple of weeks ago and put it away and threw a bunch of stuff out, but yes, I am notorious for just leaving tools, old gaskets, etc. etc. just laying there after each job.

    Oh man, that’s heartbreaking. The R model doors are difficult to pull out also but I usually don’t wind up scratching anything you’re pretty much just have to yank them.out next time you screw with them maybe you might have to just shave them off a little bit of the window slider channels. I have thought of that before.

    I almost stayed at my old job part-time moving trailers, but I was talking to a guy that just got off of one and went back to forklift driver and I asked him what the deal was and he said he got tired of jumping on and off that thing, it was easier to run a forklift
  17. mowerman
    Yes, I also like the In-N-Out. I’ve driven a few yard dogs in my time. They’re usually not very easy to get in or out of.
  18. mowerman
    Wow, that thing was way. Cool thanks for that.
