Hey Yogi, and anyone else who's interested: here's another safety tip for this at home hot tanking method. Heating galvanized steel like your trash cans there above 480F with a direct flame is dangerous and toxic. It releases zinc fumes so don't ever do it in a confined space, but it's best not to do it at all if it can be avoided.
Beyond that: I share the same sentiments as everyone else. Family comes first, cars are just things. Everything can be fixed. I'm waiting on a caliper piston because yours truly tore the hell out of it with some channel locks after nothing else would get it loose. Whether it's $50 or $5000 the biggest cost is pride sometimes. We all hate spending money on our mistakes. Just think of people that literally throw that kind of money away on things they have nothing to show for it. Whatever we spend on these cars is no different than a vacation, season tickets to sporting events, or any other hobby. A pastime and memories often cost money.

That's right. I couldn't be doing what I do w/o my family's support. We actually discussed her coming on my channel more often due to the positive responses we've received.
