I think I saw that the trans case was aluminum on this. There were four instances where I forgot to unhook something and had to back up slightly. But I don’t think I damaged anything.
First time I’ve done that absolutely single handedly. Last time I had a couple teens (one at a time) who could be extra pairs of eyes and hands. First time, I just did what Dad told me.
I fell in despair yesterday evening and night because it was too hot to work in the shop and I started thinking about the world.
Reminder: NEVER THINK, ONLY WORK.
Got drunk to drown that out. Now, hungover, I am trying to whip myself into frantic activity to avoid thinking again.
they want and need everyone to believe that it is hopeless and that nothing matters and that nothing will ever get better, but, like, they’re wrong. they’re liars. they lie, depression lies, this whole thing is a fucking con to get you to think that submission is better than liberty.

John Lurie and I had a few exchanges on the bird site. He was really mad about a New Yorker profile. After we got thru that, he said the nicest guy in movies was Willem Defoe and declared Hackman was a jerk. But, to me, Hackman instantly elevates everything he’s in. I miss him.
That’s where I’m at. Along with the completed and 3/4 done projects. Not to mention smaller, one week woodworking projects for myself and repairs for my handyman clients. This weekend, my daughter and I rebuilt her ‘98 Grand Marquis taillights. It’s busy here.
No. Unibody means the body does a lot of the stiffening. The body and frame are a single unit, and there really isn’t a continuous frame running from bumper to bumper.
With this, the body does very little stiffening. The roof does some, I guess. The frame is bumper to bumper, like a pickup.
The trouble is I’m already more than a little in love with it — like I never was with the International.
The IH frame is perfectly solid.
Somehow, the juxtaposition says something about life.
I sure am considering parting. Another car friend suggests taking my time and welding support plates on.
The thing is, nothing about this hobby has anything to do with sensible choices.
