    Ryan,
    Not that it matters now, but if you find yourself dealing with an old, defunct hot tub in the future, a chainsaw is your friend. I had one that was no longer viable, and 1/2 hour with a chain saw had it in pieces that were easily tossed into a dumpster.

Oil can intrude from the valve cover cavity through valve seals and into the cylinders too. A person flips the vehicle back on its wheels and tries to crank the engine without removing the spark plugs. Since you can't compress a liquid something has to give. So if a cylinder is full of oil or even 3/4s full, and the piston is on the compression stroke or if the valves are shut, as the piston travels up forcing the fluid to the bottom of the head, the valves get held shut. Then the weakest link will be found. I'm not saying this is the problem with this engine. But, it ran fine before the roll over and didn't pop through the carb. So either some one jacked with the distributor/timing, or there are issues in the engine now.

    A Sawzall with a fast cutting blade works pretty good, too, if you don't have a chainsaw....;-)

    I actually loaded up my generator, sawzall, and an extension cord and had planned to cut it up. Guess what? I forgot the blades in my truck and that's why I had to resort to plan b which wasn't anticipated.

    Once again I had a mad dash to get things done so we could go to Goodguys this year. I took last Thursday and Friday off for it. Thursday was used to take the camper up there, get the registration stuff handled, and I also took the Corvette up to the campgrounds. At around 11PM I resumed working on the 72. I had a laundry list of stuff I wanted to get done to it before I took it. It's pretty sad, most of the stuff I did you really can't tell much has changed.

    I replaced my head light housings with ones that looked more stock but still accept a H4 bulb. I installed my modified grill emblem I made, and I painted around the head lights on the grill. I had to modify my battery hold downs because they were hitting my caps on my batteries and making a mess over time. I cleaned them up and painted them. I made a new battery cable from the RH battery to the LH battery. I drilled holes in my radiator support and ran the new battery cable through it. Previously my cable ran across the top behind the radiator. But I had panels to clean up the top and I wanted them moved. I also cleaned up the under side and repainted it to get the remnants of the winter off it. I didn't get half of my list done so that will have to wait. It was a busy weekend but it was fun.

    These were the only pictures I took this weekend. I'm disappointed about that. These pics are with the air bags dumped. It's easier for the kids to get in and out with the suspension dumped.

    In not so many words, I was thinking the same thing.

    It only has bags in the rear. I haven't gotten to the front and I'm not sure if I will on this truck now. That will mean redoing a lot of things. I have 35s and different wheels for it but I like the looks of the steels and haven't brought myself to put the 35s on it yet.

    In other news......... The 1970 K10 is finally on it's way to it's owner in New York. This poor guy has had more bad luck with this truck than I'd want. This was the 3rd shipper that was supposed to pick this truck up in 2 weeks. Pretty crazy.

    Did you get it running better for him, and that's a pretty sweet wagon on the top.

    Yes, I could fall in love with that Range-wagon too Seth, Mid 50's Fords do it for me and especially the Wagons.

    At least it's packed on the bottom, harder to flip off the trailer on ride #2! Your a good man for helping this guy out, Kharma comes around and you sir should have a good future!

    I got it to where it would stay running but didn't have time to mess with it much more. I don't think he was expecting some one to come get it so soon.

    It was a very nice wagon. I climbed up and checked it out but I didn't take any pics of it.
