rock wheel chocks ftw! no pic of mine, but changed clutch out twice in my gravel driveway, only jackstands. rocks dig into your back pretty bad when you are trying to wiggle the transmission back in btw.

When I first got my 240 vert me and my buddy rebuilt the KA in his shop...but I had to get it out quick so he could get his 68 Roadrunner drag car back in the bay.



Now I work on it at another friends house that has a two bay shop...but it's getting hard to work on it there since he picked up a 64 Falcon to build for the drag strip...and already has a 65 Mustang drag car.
