No, infact i havent gotten anything, but its not a rush, i just need to first get the truck drivable, and get some more funding. Again, thanks for the continued help, much appreciated.

How did i get under the hood to take the photo? My body consists of semi-metallic synthetic polyol-oil, i am an upgrade to the origional terminator. This allows me to ooze into there, and re-form.

You think telephone polls are strong enough? And no, im not comming to pick up the junk on the side of your house, ie boat anchor, chain etc.
