Rod Bearings Dooleyville style!

[shosleeper]

Ok, so we did not even see a rod bearing today...we did however figure out quite possibly the easiest way to pull a motor and tranny (and front suspension...and steering) This was a very smooth and trouble free endevour...rust belt eat your hearts out.

I did take a picture that can be added to the mess of pics: It was the outside temperature being 114 degrees....AT 5:00pm!!

Sorry I missed seeing you guys. It was hot where I was, too...

yea emergency room? This is Eric, I fell in the parking lot and need to get a doctor to check me out. Broken arm? No, 3rd degree burns on my neck, back and buttocks. No, this isnt a crank call, I'm over on the asphalt near the speedwa*_ click....hello....hello?

 

[Shoaz]

Yeah, I put my bare knee on the asphalt for about a millisecond when I was dealing with a leaky speedbleeder. Not a good idea.

So you guys did in a day what it took me much longer to do on the pumpkin. Same sort of thing except I left the struts in. Tom showed me how you used the pallet jack, which is a great idea.

I think I'd have rather been helping with that than baking on the asphalt at PIR.

 

[Off Road SHO]

Yeah, we felt bad for you Eric so we broke a sweat too. I've got to figure out how to get a 2-post lift in the garage. It would have been soooo much easier with a lift.

BTW, I want to give a very hearty thank you to Mike (F-22 Raptor SHO) and Chris (SHO Sleeper) for coming all the way out to my house to help me out. It sure was nice of you guys to do that for me, I really appreciated it. It would have taken me 4 weeks and two bottles of Nuprin to get all that done.

Thanks again guys.

Tom

 

[Shoaz]

Tom, you gonna paint that subframe while it's out?

 

[Off Road SHO]

Of course. Probably powder coat it though.

Hmm...new pictures for the events section...

Sorry I couldnt be there guys, I was suckin back free Coronas in Vegas and coming back $250 ahead. Can you say "Valve cover gasket set"?

 

[yamahaSHO]

Hmmmmm... Tom... I thought I was going to help you with the work on your car as part of my payment to you. I thought that was going to be later this year?

 

[Off Road SHO]

Jason,

No problem bud. As slow as I am at rebuilding things, Your grandchildren will be helping me put it back together.

Tom I had a great time, and besides my grandchildren will still be paying my debt to you off. BTW I left my watch out there on the shelves...if you could stash it somewhere safe, I'd be grateful. Hey mike I just found a headunit (radio) just like your's in one of the pull-a-parts here in PHX if your ebay unit does not work out let me know.

I will swap you for a kick butt silver watch I found on the shelf at Tom's.

I'm interested even though I have one being shipped as we speak...u see, if the SHO came with an 8 track player, I would probably have one of those too.

Got it. PM me your schedule and your 20's and I'll meet up with you. I've been working out at Lockheed Martin all week, driving right past you.

I am going to be dropping my frame in a couple of weeks. I am going to take a run at converting my ATX....just to see if I can do it...
