Driveshaft bolts

Banged away at the transmission bolts again last night.  Managed to get one more off but the last one doesn’t want to budge.  I sprayed more Liquid Wrench on and I’ll try again tonight.  Not sure what to do if it won’t let go.…

Stuck bolts

Finally got to some cleaning today.  If today is any indication, the cleanup process will take longer than I’d like.  Hopefully everyone is right in that getting to the go-cart stage is quick.  Most of what I did today was disassemble the front arms and start…

Truck in a ditch

The Mustang finally showed up!!! Check out the pics.  The front left tire is pretty low and cracking on the sidewall.  I don’t plan on driving it so it’s not a big deal.  I would like to be able to keep it inflated while I’m working on…
