Thats when you need a harness and make use of an engine hoist to suspend you over the engine.

I'll bet Ross is happy he DID NOT post a pic of him sitting near the exhaust pipe.

Nice work there Bob!

The real joy is driving them. I finally got my F-2 out and running last night around 9:30 pm and took it down to the local you spray car wash. I then went over to the local custard shop and picked up some custard. I pulled up and got just as a family walked out I heard one of the kids say, "Cool old truck" to his dad and then he told me he liked the truck.

The reason I had to wash it so late last night is because I didn't have time today to wash in time for a little special car show at a local rehabilitative center for the mentally challenged. A about a dozen people showed up with their cars so the people at the center could come out in groups of 7-8 and take a look at the old cars. These people have severe problems and it's really hard for their families to manage them and take them out during the weekends when car shows are normally held. This was their special show they could enjoy with the help of their aids. They all seemed really thrilled and the head counselor said they will be talking about it for days.
