Default Actually 2 days worth of work

Worked on cleaning, sanding and polishing my vintage 3.5" Fentons. Turned out pretty good, can't wait to get the tires mounted and get these on the car.

When was the last time you got to brag about your engine's actual stump-pullin' power?

I had to pull out a 15 year old Weeping Willow that was tilting toward the back side of the house due to a rotten root. I had the tree service come in and cut the tree down but leave a 4 foot tall stump so I'd have something to lever against with a chain. I used a Sawzall and some pruning blades and cut the roots within six inches of the stump and then hooked the old trusty pullin' chain to the old 396 (Diesel) Turbo-Jet. Threw it in 4WD Low and slowly yanked it out of the ground.

I then spent an hour knocking all the dirt off the root ball so I'd have something to fill in the giant crater I left. At least the dogs got something new to investigate.
