Why should I cut up a good Ford?........................lol

I got the AMX from an old friend (for free...) that just got too old to race anymore, and I told him I'd get it back on the strip.

Came pretty close to seizing my Polaris Sportsman 700 EFI yesterday. The oil filter gasket warpped and lost the oil because of it. Luckily it was a short trip and got shut down before seizing. Flipped the gasket over, tightened it back up new oil, runs again. Dodged that expensive replacement.

Harley and I got the new corner posts set to move the south fence out another 10' yesterday. We hope to get the fence moved next week. I also got a little more done on my welding/fab table yesterday. I got the sockets mounted on three sides, and got the vice bolted to the new base.

I've got three on this table, it will fit all my rigs hitches, and we plan on putting a socket on Harleys main bench, and one in the "dirty" side. Be nice to just move the vices from socket to socket!

Geez Don, you're slipping. I could see a couple of square feet of open floor space in those pics. The work benches are looking pretty proud though.
