Capt_Zorro Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 This has been a tough week for the Old. Capt. Wed. morn about 08:30 we answered a wreck and had to cut the guy out with the Hurst tool. I was using it to push the truck away from a tree and it slipped and either broke or dislocated my ring finger. One doctor says one thing another the other, all I know is it's sore. (strike one) Today my Son and I were getting ready to work on the old '47 Ford. We jacked up the front end and put it on jack stands and started to jack up the back before crawling under it to do some welding. One of the supposedly 6 ton front jack stands broke dropping the car about three feet onto the floor. (strike two) Went to the auto parts and picked up some more stands and jacked up the car without any trouble this time. Got the engine hoist and pulled the 460 off the engine stand and dropped it down to hook up the C-6. Got the bellhousing bolts in and started to lift it up to crawl under it to attach the torque converter bolts and it tipped over breaking the trans. case. (strike three) depending on how you look at I guess it was good luck. Adios Amigos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
