however.........................
I "forgot" to buy the coolant........and had to make a second trip (
) to the (fartherest) parts house!Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd....it was only a one-minute project to use the new ceiling hoist to put the hardtop on the car (original pic)....I may be able to give my bottle of Aleve to my neighbor now!
Thanks Men......for the hoist idea.....best $125 I ever spent!
