Some day, you will be able to tell that story as a back-in-the-day story.

However, since you already showed pictures of your garage, you won't be able to tell folks that you did that engine rebuild, in a drafty barn, during the winter, in subfreezing temperatures, working on a dirt floor, using only a monkey wrench and a screwdriver, working at night and seeing only with a coal oil lantern.

No, actually it was done in a one car garage in San Antonio Texas in August averaging about 105 degrees on a cement floor with your basic mechanics tool set and a couple screwdrivers starting at 0400 (because it was only about 80) and well I think I can make it a bit better as the years roll on.....


I actually drank about a case of the wife's bottled water through the ordeal... Probably lost a few pounds as well but hey, it was a great experience and I look forward to fixing the spare motor in the next couple of months....
