Just before the cloud burst.
The old Cleveland is in the bed and the 302 is under the hood. Sort of....
One of the motor mounts I bought didn't have the bolt holes drilled in it.
He put a 2 X 4 under it and brought it back anyway.
I can see I have my work cut out for me. I'm too embarassed to show any pics yet. The motor is just sitting in there with another 2 X 4 holding up the trans.
I stopped this afternoon and swapped the mount for a good one.
I have too many projects going right now. I don't know when I'll really get to work on it in earnest.
I do need to get the Lincoln stripped so it can be hauled away.
I've got to get this yard cleaned up!
I've spent too much money at $60 per hour for incompetent mechanics, at that rate you shouldn't be able to make mistakes. Recantly I got frustrated trying to drill out a brake bleeder on my honda civic (crappy weather and tools) and took it to the shop to replace the eighty-five cent bleeder cap. When I picked the car up my brakes didn't work at all and my very new front windshield was broken. They billed me over $300 to drill out the cap and called me a liar when I asked about the windshield. Every shop where I live has a bad reputation and my experience with most of them has been poor, I wish there were some honest people in my area. By the way the company that did this was Basin Towing in Durango, Colorado. When I lived in Texas I never had to deal with this crap.
