my favs:

"CORY" in the cement - COOL
Car pictures on edge of garage door
rattle can paint samples on garage wall
the wood stove made from a barrel
work boots in chair
jack stands - perfect !

I think these are awsome and give us the feeling like we are right there in the mix with you Cory!!

I didn't see that either!

<Tim whispers so only Cory can hear> Cory, Ed is a hell of a nice guy, but sometimes I think he lives in the Twilight Zone and has a weekend house in La La Land! He could be a little like this ==> <Tm stops whispering>

OK, I see it now! He hid it in plain sight! DOH!

By your original description of "'CORY' in the cement - COOL" I was thinking his name had been written or printed IN the wet cement, so that is what I was looking for.

Holy shi'ite you have good eyes!

Yes, that says my name. It is my Dads shop and we laid the concrete down when I was fairly little. We always scratched our names in the concrete before it dries.

Man that looks painful. The picture of the s in the valve is ridiculous. If you are gonna throw it away i'd take it for a paperweight/conversation starter.

Good luck with the rebuild.

Thats what is going to be for me - a paperweight. Beleive or not, I didnt even clean the valve when I took the picture. It was fairly clean.

Thanks for good luck, ill need it.

Yes, we do the same. I believe we laid the concrete in '84 if my memory serves me.

Heck of a DIY you got there. I wish I had your knowledge. I'm only up to mild bolt on's and basic maintainable. There are several guys that are dropping motors and doing their own dissasembly on this forum, I tip my hat to you guys (no pun intended).
