My first car. 55 Chevy 210 Hardtop. put a 327 and 3 speed. Kept breaking trans. Put a 4 speed in and starting breaking spider gears from wheel hop. Bought a set of slapper bars and had to elongate hole. While under car with grinder I had metal get into my eye. I was 16 and dad took me to emergency room and they numbed the eye and drilled out metal.

The long straight limb on the apple tree wouldn't hold up the Hemi, so we sured it up with 2"x4"s. got it just high enough and had to let some air out of the tires , tough to push but got it in!
