What's your record time

Not doing it for a time slip either but I am pointing out how gloriously simple old cars can be.

If a situation dictates an engine be pulled then it shouldn't be a stressful endeavor on one of these cars because it is so easy that a girl can get an engine out, in 34 minutes and beat out some guys twice her size :lol:

Try that with a later model modular ford, then it becomes apparent how engineers have really lost their minds :poke: and how cars have changed so much and really puts a question on future car enthusiasm.

The last comment about help is so dang true. I am so used to doing things on my own that when I get help, it's awkward and they usually work against my rhythm and pace.

Oh, I agree with you completely.
I also wonder what the "hobby" part of it will end up being, and sometimes think it's possible we could end up looking for gas for our old cars in the black market some day in the future because it isn't compatible any longer or even produced at all.
Don't think I have to worry about that in my lifetime, but I still wonder how it's going to end up some day.
