Last week John had a few moments to come over to help remove the front sub-frame. We moved the car to give us space, assembled the crane, and attached the chain to the angle iron bracket. As we slowly started to raise the car, the laws of physics kicked in.
The angle iron bracket started to twist since it was only attached with one bolt. It popped out of position. With no way to secure it further, we decided to drop the car and remove the crane. We measured for a new hole on the other side of the existing bracket bolt. The bracket was taken up to John’s for further modification. And finally, a week later, I got a chance to get up to his house and use his drill press for the first hole.
And then, John insisted on a second hole for the chain link lifting hook to secure it in place.
One step forward, one step back. Boom chicka boom chick.
Thanks for visiting.
