Truck is in front of my house with a solid coat of ice on it-- Everytrhing has ice on it. Slipped on my butt just walking out to it this morning. Don't know what the weather is like in Wichita but I wouldn't bring the Bullit up here today.

If you need me to run up and get green I can.

Nice... Zoomies huh? well, I don't think I could get the hood off if they go out the hood, and, well, I think listening to those shorties all the way to colorado and back, or Oklahoma and back would make me deaf. LOL!!

Clint sprayed it with WD40 and the hood fell off.



He said the next thing to do was hook a chain to the grille, and the other end to the super duty and wala!!!! Front clip will be off. Using that method the engine should be out in less than 15 minutes.

A chain isn't very safe use a tow strap!
