That should be it. I think I used Chrysler Industrial Red from Plasticote.

Exactly! When I started my project and saw this I wanted to cry. I’ve never done anything remotely close to this type of repair! But you all got me through it and I’m glad I didn’t give up! This site has been and the folks here are awesome!

Sounds like the guy has some experience. He said he had a 5.9 on his stand. Now that is scarry!

Don't take me wrong here. We weren't born experts but this guy might have issues building a engine if he can't figure out what bolts he needs for a engine stand. I am afraid, I am very afraid.

Actually... there was not an obvious way to do it and keep it near center. I got creative...

What do you say to a friend that just had a stroke. Dang, I feel sorry for the guy and his family. I'm sad this Christmas. I lost another friend last week.

A very hard thing to do is find the right words, your wisdom will get you threw it Mike, you have been blessed with many friends and it's hard on us when we see it .. I seen where this holiday is the worst for hard attacks and strokes :(

Turn that frown upside down bud, count our blessings and give to those you can. :)

Its tough.
My best friend had a stroke a few years ago,he was fortunate to pull through. Was around to help him out doing the stuff he had no strength to do. Yard work and whatever.
A friend’s wife passed away 8 days ago,he’s taking it pretty well.
Still have to go see him,but not until after the service.

A good customer of mine had a stroke at his wife’s funeral. He’s in rough shape. Recovering slowly.

I put the diff back under the barracuda yesterday after finishing the inner tub patches.
Next is trunk extension repair.a hole in trunk floor to fix too.

My drive motor decided to slip,the output shaft is press fit. So i welded it to the hub. Will pull now.
Changed the leaking tire,and decided on p215/70-14 for tires.
Found a great deal on cooper cobras. These wheels are nice. View attachment 1715266123

The question is whether you can get them for the 5 on 4 bolt pattern.
That's why my car has slots - Ansen. Cheap, light, strong, available.
