Ugh, same happened to me with a pressure plate.


It's also cool that Val and Jason live close enough to each other to help each other. I don't know too many in this forum that can do that.

Yea it is! Never even knew Jason until we met here at Camaro Forums, and we have gotten together to work on his cars a few times. (I'm buildin' up credits for when I need his help! ) It's fun to meet other Camaro owners from your own neck of the woods. I'm hoping we'll meet even more this summer when the local Wednesday night big cruise starts at Portland Intl. Raceway!

That's one reason I finally broke down and bought a collapsable cherry picker! Harbor Freight had them on sale years ago for $150, and I figured I was tired of all the commuting and rushing to finish whenever I rented one, so I just invested in one.

I just borrowed my brother-in-law's 5 years ago and never took it back. He comes over and gets it once in awhile, but I make sure he puts it back in my garage when he's done.

I keep looking for one too. At this rate, I'll end up using my father in law's A-Frame to put the engine in. That will be fun, but I am sure it is possible.

I nearly spit pop on my keyboard reading that! Mostly because it's so true it's funny! I've loaned mine out a couple times, and always have to eventually go "borrow" it back!
