I know that "creaking while rotating" feeling all too well! I pulled the 426 Hemi engine in the old 70 Charger around 10 years ago, to do some detailing and replace the oil pan. I had the engine on the stand and was rotating it to get the oil pan facing up. I got it around 90 degrees turned when it decided to make its own orbital reentry maneuver and took the entire stand with it. It made a two inch divot in the concrete floor that is still there to this day. Didn't even scratch the paint on the cylinder head where it impacted. Now I know what killed the dinosaurs - it wasn't a meteorite, it was a Hemi flying off an engine stand.

That looks beautiful Dave, I'm in awe how easy you make it all look even though we all know its anything but easy. Steve is one lucky guy not having to worry about paint jail on this one.

Even after several years of watching you do amazing stuff in no time at all, I still can't get over how quickly you get things done, and how great it looks.

Wow, thanks guys!!!
 Very nice compliments and I appreciate them all!!! There’s no doubt you all know how much effort this takes, and it’s means a lot to have you all enjoy my handiwork. I still learn as I go and try and improve where I can. More importantly, I take in what I can from guys that have forgotten more stuff than I think I know. No way my work is perfect, but then again, neither was the factory’s! Paint purgatory is something I’m glad I don’t have to experience since I’m not sure I’d have the patience for it! More to come this week with such memorable moments as, “I know you ordered it Steve, but I can’t find it!” and “Uh oh....that’s not good”. Cheers Dave
