DAY 6: Let's pull the engine

Eli pulled off the passenger side fender.












And then:


















At the end of a good morning we had the engine secured to the engine stand:

It was actually a little strange.  Almost nothing went wrong.  Even the exhaust bolts came loose without a problem.  Plus... we got new tools!

Before you say "those aren't as good as Snap On" just shut up.  I know they're not.  But AutoZone is right down the street and warranties duralast stuff forever.  That coupled with the fact that their quality is ok and their price is HALF of Snap On... they'll work fine for us.

Before you say "you know they have LED drop lights now" just shut up again.  I know.  But there's some sort of weird appeal to these old type.  Super cheap.  Super simple.  Effective.

Also, a compressor!  Magna Force... whatever.  It compresses air.  We don't have any tools for it yet, but we aired up the truck tires with supreme efficiency!

Tools don't add to the cost of the project as they'll be used for projects forever.

Today cost: nothing - see above
Total project cost: $2,048.31
