Default Matco man came!

Got a new toy from the Matco guy...





This thing is NICE...Geared, and will hold 1,000 lbs. Plus, it's collapsible.

Now if I can just pull the motor out of the Vette and start rebuilding it...

Well, there's the "Honey do" stuff that we have to do before we can pull the engine.

My mom has said that my dad and I have to lay wood flooring throughout the living room and hall before we can pull the engine.

That's a 3 day job for the install, and I'm not looking forward to it.
