    I rewound the footage 4 times to try to figure out what the heck you were using. I was thinking some homemade dealyy-bob.
    Can you post a pic of the tool, please ?

    Had no idea. Any up close pics of it? Being from Buffalo, I have a deep urge to possess a KRW engine stand since they really are beautiful pieces to have around. I'd love to see another thing I'm gonna have to be on the look for sigh.....

    Damn.... I need two hand fulls of whatever you were on that day! If you are going to cut that truck up you can hardly do better than Chuck Porter's yellow truck as a inspiration. Great tune too!

    looks like the new One Car Garage is much better suited to getting stuff done.

    Damn Man you're gettin' good at this shit. Kinda reminds me of when I yanked the tranny outta the Merc on my lunch break. (30) minute lunch break. I hope to see old Grover back to life soon. I need one o them green ones. New shops are cool.

    Been pulling long work weeks, but here's a micro update:

    In process of Z-ing the frame three inches front and rear.

    That was really cool! I too work in a one stall. It's a bitch, but it's all the space I got. It is cheap to heat!

    Frame is back together – still need to add lower gussets and box those sections.

    Cab is braced and I'm ready to cut out the floor. Also taking the time to build a rig for my camera to get some more footage. The next video update is coming.

    Mini update. Been working on the chassis as I can. Goal is to have it slammed back together by August then get the bugs worked out for some serious road trips after.

    And dropping the engine mounts 3" to compensate for the Z.

    Flathead.....check.
    Blower.....check.
    T5.....check.

    That right there is enough for me to think it's going to be a fun as hell to drive. But when you wrap that all up in a show truck it's over the top....like Stallone.
