Bill came down to help. He
can't
believe
what we're about to
do.

We rip away the fenders as my
dad's friend Harvey sucks
on a
cigar
and
watches.
|
 |
We had to dig under it
to
get more
leverage.

The motor
is free of the
frame.

We hooked up a winch
to a tree to drag the motor up into
Harvey's
pickup.

What's left of the car. With
the fenders and firewall gone, the roof collapsed onto the
rest.

 |
My dad
and I took the motor back to my place to break it down. I didn't
have a garage at the time, so we
did all we could in the back of
my truck.

CJ in his favorite place. Once we had the
motor all apart and cleaned, we stored it on my porch until my
dad could get it back home. He was in the area on business when
we did this.
