Here is the pit that Tim and Del dug out:

Dyno
Tom, it's really good to see that you are finally able to start the dyno install. However, I'm a little disappointed that you decided not to install it in O'Fallon, Missouri. 
Best of luck.

Thanks guys! I got a few issues with Mustang about their design of the footings on the dyno. But rather than dealing with them I am just going to fix them myself. An hour or two of welding will fix it. I just can't beleive how some engineers design things, beats the heck out of me I just figured after spending what I did, one would expect something better.
I hope to be running by the end of the first week of September. I forgot that the concrete has to cure for three weeks before I can apply any real heavy weight on it. And seeing how I am going to need a HD fork lift plus the weight of the dyne, its going to have to cure fully before I drop her into the pit. I wish you guys were all in my neck of the woods I would invite you all over to help me break it in!

Just getting started? I thought you'd be up and running by now; I remember when you were just talking about getting it. All kidding aside, good luck with the new addition. I wish I was able to be a customer too.

The RedNeckDyno,... The chain is held in place by a SINGLE bolt. Ever see a car get sling-shotted across the road??? (Please post a pic of that,...)
