Who knew 2Fs were into chains and bondage?
2F’s haha..... me and the ‘ol girl always enjoy a good Betty Paige imitation.
 
I think this should be in "60 series porn". Also, I'm impressed! Thank you for sharing the journey. So much great information.
 
Look at this beauty I just spotted in South Glastonbury CT... I was on a time crunch so only took pixs. Didn’t think to leave a note. Beeeeeauty! Gone when i
Went back by. Inspection sticker says it was an ‘85 from 2016 NY.

Hope she is still receptive after than tranny's input shaft incident while her motor was in chains. I know my 60 is still holding a grudge concerning the distributor after desmogging. I .... Nevermind.
 
Install day scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday. Couple friends will be here for 11am. I dissembled the monster wench hoist to get it behind the engine. That was great fun but I did it. Moving the engine and her close friends takes tons of effort w/ my 4’ 2x4 but I get it done. Had it out and then back. I’ll be happy to have that hunk of metal back where it belongs.

And it will be thrillingly fun tomorrow doing all that work w/ an N95 on since my work is now positive officially for the first time. Couple residents and more than a handful of staff. The s***s blowing up. Both my friends are aware that I could be carrying it now but are still willing to come help. One had it way back and the other is okay wearing a mask and gloves.

It's a long list of reasons, but your build thread is the only one that everytime I login I'm hoping there is a new post! Love following your work. About 2 months ago I got an '84 that is very clean and mechanically sound. Just needs some of the typical replacement 36 y/o parts, but I have a nice start on it. It's a my mechanic now just getting a few things replaced and looked over and a 2.5" OME lift going in. Just love reading through your thread, you are an inspiration both with your 60 and your profession. Thanks for being a constant here! Keep em comin!
 
Thanks @SPACEBOY! Very kind words and very much appreciated.
hey your avatar... what’s that from? Old friend of mine from when we were 8... I had to step away from a few years back has it tattooed on her belly but I can never recall the band name.
 
She’s in her rightful place.

Big smiles :) That's awesome!. Like how you figured out the lift anchor points without a rear hook
That was all Galen, @60Works suggestion. Thanks G!
