Dang, it took eight of them? Whimps. BTW, if you are using some form of body dolly, I simply too two pieces of 1" pipe, smashed the ends flat and bolted them from the hood mount hole to the lower part of the dolly. Worked great and kept the front end from wagging. Plus you can get to everything.

These guys messed up. They didn't support the front end. Did you see the front clip sagging up and down? You can bet they cracked it in the front door jambs between the top hinge and the windshield. Ouch!!

Same thought, I was waiting to see it fall, myself.

They said "How the heck do the Americans do this? They make it look so easy. They probably made them like this to get back at us for Pearl Harbor. Get the **** off my foot you bastage!" Etc.

I commend that young asian fella. Getting ready to restore an American icon....good investment in fun. He's a Vette enthusiast so that makes him one of us. We should see if there's anyway we could help him instead of displaying ridicule.
