Talking You know you're in trouble when.....

You blow the engine.....



Your towing insurance will only tow to the closest mechanic location.......

He has it braced perfectly. When the gas tank he's welding blows up, it will toss the little beastie right over onto the sidewalk.

I think the longer 2 x 4 is the "jack" and the smaller one is the "jack stand". Redundant systems - perfectly safe.

Wouldn’t it have been easier just to roll it completely over so there would be better light on the project not to mention, no bending to do the welding.
