Well, what with having pulled one flathead in the last few weeks, tonight I got to employ those same skills learned in the wrecking yard in helping pull the flathead from my uncle's '50 sedan.
What I thought would be a quick post-workday shade tree mechanic lesson quickly developed into donning my garage fatigues, sliding under the sedan, and removing the last, hard-to-reach-unless-you-have-skinny-arms bolt on the transmission, then hooking up the come-along and pulling the whole motor out. A little more involved and therefore not as easy as the wrecking yard experience, and therefore more educational.
Good, hard, greasy work...and I love it.

About Me
- junquewerkz
- I am a man of contradictions: an overachieving non-conformist and reforming troublemaker. A high tech junkie who loves mid-century design. A wonky gadabout and quidnunc. An aspiring curmudgeon and social critic. A splitter of infinitives and dangler of participles. A snipe hunter, muffler bearing technician, and all-around good guy.
...and she has beer.
