Jim,
Excellent comment about the boneyard comment

!
Down in Georgia, y'all don't have all of the mud and snow and slush mixed with all the oil and grime that gets frozen and icy and slippery at said boneyards.
I, myself have utilized the aforementioned practice on countless occasions. Especially when dealing with a variety of vehicles.
Do y'all ever trek up into S. Carolina? My fiance is from Aiken, and we spend some time there a couple of times each year. Her dad has a foreign car repair shop called The Automotive Workbench there.
Rt, good luck with your bodywork

! I envy you having a garage to perform your various mantainence issues. I, on the other hand am relegated to working out on the street. Compounding this is the fact that I live across the street from the county courthouse. The melitia does not condone vehicles (even with resident stickers) being left on jackstands etc during the day

...........oh well
Good luck and best wishes always.
spo out.
