So just how tall of a stack are you looking at? I hope you plan on having your roll cage done with something like this to set in? https://www.ispseats.com/off-road---monster-truck.html That event is on next years calendar already. Looking fwd to it, for sure.

This was First Blood on a 30 car stack, so, ....one row higher than this. I'll be sitting about 45' or so off the ground at the top.

OMG! No chance that you could get the Pick and Pull off West Bypass to sponsor YOU and this adventure and get them provide the cars, property to hold the event and the labor/equipment to stack them?

No junk yard will do it for insurance reasons. I thought of that.

New cars don't crush as easily as the old ones do, believe it or not. I parked a '52 Ford next to a 2002 Buick. I ran over the cars three times before the roof dented on the Buick. The FLOOR in the '52 Ford was bent in! Even after multiple passes, I could still open and close the doors on the Buick and the door glass didn't even break.

Good Morning Everybody!

I didn't get the Chevy done yesterday, but most of the sanding is done. It should go back today. It's going to look SO much better than when I got it. I just wish I could figure out why it doesn't start.

Morning traveler, so how was the flight? Any fun? Was you scared? Did you look out the window? Did you get some of those Biscoff cookies (Delta Airlines)? Did they loose you bag? lol

Enjoy the time with the family.

Afternoon all! RC glad you made it up there!

Rich...bib overalls were on sale for 2 for $49 at Race Bros not too long ago. I grabbed them and ran.

Raining here now in Ozark

Howdy all. Glad to see Dave's problem left you and Gayle unscathed. Alan, runs happen, a run can be sanded and buffed, dry spray can't,I know little solace in that thought.

I finally got the Chevy done. I burned up my buffer, though. Luckily, this pile of junk was under warranty. Now I have a NEW pile of junk. The truck looks great, but it still doesn't run. No idea why. No blown fuses or relays. No codes. Nothing unhooked. ...I'll let the car lot figure that part out. Time to bring the next one in the door.
