I bet it's one hell of a ride in 'merry go round' mode. 

Also know as 'chumming for fish' mode.

Here you go Ray.

Interesting idea Dan, 

Looking at some information on patinas and aluminum I came across this video.
Golden Rocket restoration came to mind.

It looks like they are getting it done and yes, the crane operator is a key player.

Cranes operators often know the weight of the load that is being lifted. With trees the load is hard to figure so conservative loads are a must. Then the 'shock loading' that happens removing trees further reduces the loads that can be lifted. It's pretty wild looking down from the tree and seeing the crane doing a little wiggling. 

These days most crane operators and tree climbers wear radio headsets, a great aid.

That's cool Rob. My 258 isn't original and it also is a '78.
gas....well guess I am already use to those gas guzzling inline 6's.

Mike, yes sir... I see plenty of ice cream trips ahead of me. My youngest helped me change out the headlights, he is super excited.
