Friend of mine owns a hardware store. He's supposed to get me more drums as they come in.once I get another this week I'll see how it looks for a turbine part and let y'all know. The drums hold heavy chain. Its how the chain is shipped to the store. And I figured the bat signal would be great for sitting by the car at a show and when its not at a show.........living room prop! Yeah yeah!

Oh and Called, thats the exact reason I made the hoist. I didn't want to have to wait for friends to help lift the body back and forth. Also, when u build your hoist spend a little more money on the rollers and get at leat a few with wheel locks. I didn't and wish I had.

I was going to say's whos the nutbar with the gun..

and then I thought to myself who is the nutbar with the GUN

Really like the Bat symbol when the weather is good I'll have to finish mine but what I'm using for the housing weighs about 150 pounds it's from an old industrial scale last time it was calibrated was like 1974 work was going to toss it. It has been in my living room for about a year afraid to move it with my shitty back...

any car progress? if so awesome if not why the hell not..

Later

Oh yeah forgot to add pics of the car progress. Here's a few pica of how I mounted my motor. I got it as low as possible without the oil pan being below the frame. Hope its low enough.
