Hiding in plain sight! 

STILL working on the Ramcharger.  It's only been sitting at the shop since early May now!

It's like the neighborhood dogs - just spray some hose water on 'em!

Don't think that would help. I bought it in 07 and it's been on the trailer most of the time since then due to various reasons. right now I'm slowly exchanging out for a 4bbl setup. With the colder temps moving in, I may be done for the winter. i no longer find it as much fun working on vehicles outside in the cold weather as I did 25/30 years ago (becoming older, fat and lazy doesn't help )

I'm feelin' ya'!

My RC sat for 6 years before we got it up & running again.  I'm at a point in life, where I can pay someone ELSE to do most of the heavy lifting.  I don't have the time I did when I was a teenaged gearhead, and even the early computers are hassle enough to leave it to the pros.  I just want it to do what I want it to DO, off-road, AND... make it home safe AGAIN with kids, old dad, and cargo intact!

Feel the same way. I'll do most of the work but like right now, the 79 went to a friend for exhaust, rotors turned/new pads, check/grease front bearings and new axle shaft u-joints. I figure he has the tools to tear apart the full time axle and a shop I'll let him do that kind of work. (and it's easier on my back not sitting in a creeper chair bent over or getting up and down on a creeper constantly.)

I hear you on the back. A couple of years ago I had back surgery and now I don't move with the aclarity I used to. I bought a tire step (truck service step http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200332573_200332573 ) That's about the only way I can climb into the engine bay anymore. Also sitting up on the trailer  doesn't help when trying to get under the hood. does make it nice for crawling underneath though.

I hear you guys about the back. 2 Rods and 18 pins in my back make laying down on a creeper tough!

I've evaded surgery thus far so I'm lucky there. Two bulged/torn discs is enough for me. It's always a balancing act of carefully getting things done or now just hiring the work out. One wrong move and that's it, down for a week. Made doing sit ups a real bear.(Hence the reason the army medically retired me. I got this way from wearing 80 lbs of armor and stuff and bouncing around in a 6x6 guntruck. I'd do it again though. I don't regret it.)

I feel blessed to still be able to sit up... UNDER my RC.  I did the dual stabilizer install myself!
