    That's twice that specific macro has popped up in as many days. The original photograph was taken back in the Seventies for a Jeep ad. The location is familiar to me, as my fifth-grade classmates and I walked it when we were at a place called Camp Silverton, in the Cascade foothills ENE of Everett, where I currently live. The 'shelf' was the right-of-way for the Everett and Monte Cristo Railway, which went between East Everett and a long-disappeared town, Monte Cristo. This railway was built in the Nineteen Teens, completely removed by the mid-1940s, and now just a faded memory and a history book on the railroad.

    Fanny,
    Poutine is a Quebec dish. Surely you meant to say Poutine rapee which is Acadian in origin and usually reserved for special occasions. I love potato dumplings stuffed with pork.

    Ce n'est pas?

    When was the last time you saw any auto get an inframe job? That's now pretty much restricted to diesel long-haul tractors. And the chain fall is the reason why the bay lift and the center-post lift were originally invented. Too many mechanics getting squashed because the ceiling beam wouldn't support a car's weight.

    1965 My uncle and myself installed rings and bearings, had the pistons knurled and the valves ground, and installed a new timing chain and a Melling 3/4 race cam in my 57 Ford 312. We did it laying on our backs under the car.

    Pits were far more common than using chainfalls. I don't know what that guy is doing under there, as most of those cars had poured babbit bearings, not inserts.

    I can hear the mechanic saying "She'll hold" what could possibly go wrong? :huh::coco:
    The guy sitting in the other car watching is priceless.

    He's anticipating.

    I'm sure the inframe didn't have anything to do with the bearings, just a quick sweep with the cylinder hone, new rings and polisn the crank. I came close to doing one myself, my first and last, if the customer had given the green light, on a '55 Tin Indian, um, 287, IIRC. But he only gave the okay for a check of the bearings and replace the front and rear main seals and pop in a new oil pump.
