My hands look like I was in a cat fight now, LOL

I am thinking about trying to slid the trans forward a few inches to help getting to them.

Thank you, alot of hard work went into the Chevelle, 17 months and many all nighters on weekends.

I can beleive it. I have done a couple complete restorations, and it is indeed a LOT of work. But, it is also a lot of fun. At least, it should be.

If you don't bleed on the job at least once, then you are not working hard enough.

Ah, youth.
I rarely bleed on the job any more. I had plenty of knuckle bisters over the years. Now I work smarter. [8D]

Haha...My hands can't wait for that day..

It seems like everytime my dad and I are out working on something on one of the cars, he always starts to say "alright now be careful its a knuckle buster"..and by the time he says "be care-".. I've busted a knuckle. [&o]

If you think Chevelle looks good you should here when he fires it up! It will bring a tear to your eye and make your knees shake a bit. Thanks for the tips and hints we'll let you know when it's out.

Youth?? Oh, that's a good one. [sm=icon_rofl.gif]I am 46 years old.... Been working on cars/trucks/bikes/thingswithwheels since I was 15. Did it for a living for a while. As I got older, I was less likely to sacrifice some blood to the Repair Gods, but, it still happened far to regularly for my tastes. Unfortunately, those days are done for me. Found out I have MS.... Peachy. Right side no longer works correctly, so, I am selling off most of my garage stuff..... Life sucks sometimes, but, we adapt. Mostly......

Brian, I understand you weren't looking for sympathy with that post, but I want to say I am very sorry to hear about your condition and wish you the best with God's help.

Thank you. Muchly appreciated. It is a new situation for me, and no, I am not looking for sympathy.I have pretty much adjusted to the "new" situation, and just looking for ways to cope. Fortunately, I have a VERY loving girlfriend, that is familiar with MS, having taken care of several folks that have it. I consider myself very fortunate to have her.

By the way, wasn't this a tech topic at one point?? How did we get sidetracked off into bloodloss, and assorted diseases?? MY fault? Oh. Ooops. [sm=oopssign.gif]

Don't sweat it, I doubt that Kyle will slap our hands. We all wander now and then.
