I learned long ago never to assume any job is simple...nothing is easy, everything is hard! If you live by that you will never be surprised by a big job again. They're all BIG JOBS!

Thats why they make Gas Axes. Too tight - Gas Ax it, Too rusty - Gas Ax it. Oops guess I cut a little too deep - Get a new frame, oops I didn't now there was still gas

Three years ago, I busted an intake valve spring. One thing leads to another and so I might have the truck back together next year. Nuff said.

We've all been there before. Sometimes, I find it easier to just take on the whole project and completely redo it rather than just fix something and find out all the effort was worthless. You finish one project and it creates two more. Boy can I relate! BTW- I love that word "bient", reminds me of Randy Jack's "fugly".
