Yep Richard, check the inside of your tank for rust. When I bought my 84 Crown Vic it was owned by the proverbial old lady and only had 50,000 miles on it, but she had parked it in her garage for 4 years and never used it again. I had it towed to my shop and when I pulled the tank I found handful after handful of rust particles. The interior had just been eaten totally up by the stuff. I had to buy a new tank and flush the entire fuel system before it would start. Even the electric pump in the tank was a ball of rust.

That gantry has been a life saver. We use it for everything, even to lift my 46 Ford body off the trailer when it arrived. Don't know how we would get along without it.

I guess it's obvious I like all animals, but cats in particular. They just crack me up with the stuff they do. The two we have at home are clowns and I swear they know they are being funny. The ones who are strays at our shop are really a sad case, left to fend for themselves and always looking around for danger. The other night a new big cat came around and attacked one of the family, so Dan and I tore after it and chased it away. I think the family knew we protected them which is why they came into the shop later, maybe to say thanks.
