Projects Model A

Ready for pick up... Yipee!

 

The guys helped me load her up at BPM... With a cool little forklift... (one of the tools on my christmas wish list!)

 

cool little race engine hoist deal...

 

This thing is US made and has picked up $300,000 race engines so it was a signal honor for my little Flattie to be loaded with!

choosing the anchor points... I was taking notes!

 

Houston we have lift-off!

 

I believe I can fly!

 

I believe I can touch the sky...

 

Johnny back at home doesn't lift this high!

 

Over the bed

 

Needed to remove the hitch et al so the lift could sneak in close.

De-strapping... this is exciting!

All the other goodies/junk

 

Cool custom made wooden prop to stabilize the load..

 

This piece was notched at the top like a vee to fit snug up against the pulley, tie downs hooked up (only 2 needed) the whole truck moved with the engine... A quick litmus test for not having over 6 grand rolling around my bed liner!
