Here is a project for you "do it yourselfers"

[rfoster]

Looks like a good low mile, locally owned, no salvage yet history unit, nothing wrong with it that money won't fix.

[phorner]

Yep, now that there's a PROJECT!!

[Loc]

That looks like a lucky 7

Gents: When you think MCI always keep a slopping floor in mind. Some if not all have a floor that slopes back to front. To flatten it for conversion use the whole floor must be removed thus requireing a major ground up bus re-build.

Maybe Mango, Jon and JDUB could explain the correct usage of the following at the next POG Rally. Enjoy!

Men's Tools Explained by Richard Barnes:D

DRILL PRESS:

A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it.

WIRE WHEEL:

Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, "Oh, shit!"

SKILL SAW:

A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short.

PLIERS:

Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of blood-blisters.

BELT SANDER:

An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs.

HACKSAW:

One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle. It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes.

VISE-GRIPS:

Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand.

OXYACETYLENE TORCH:

Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable objects in your shop on fire. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race.

TABLE SAW:

A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity.

HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK:

Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after you have installed your new brake shoes, trapping the jack handle firmly under the bumper.

BAND SAW:

A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut good aluminum sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge.

ENGINE HOIST:

A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of everything you forgot to disconnect.

PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER:

Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads.

STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER:

A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws and butchering your palms.

PRY BAR:

A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50 cent part.

HOSE CUTTER:

A tool used to make hoses too short.

HAMMER:

Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent to the object we are trying to hit.

UTILITY KNIFE:

Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in use.

Son of a bitch TOOL: From my wife Audrey - "God love her"

Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling, "Son of a bitch" at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the next tool that you will need.

[Jon Wehrenberg]

We don't actually use the tools we buy. They are for show only.

[garyde]

Any tool with a motor: likely to be used once or twice and then wisely stored away for posterity.

Mr. Barnes- LMAO

[jello_jeep]

Sounds like my shop!!

[sawdust_128]

You forgot the work bench. That's the storage table filled with uneeded stuff for the project on which you are currently working, on the floor in front of the bench.

Also serves as a place to mount vices so that they are sure to unaccessible because of the stored items.

And as the place from which to launch a large coffee can of "extra" parts from all previous projects. And has the unique feature of always depositing those parts into the organized array of pieces you just dismantled from the curent project on the floor.

[jello_jeep]

LOL, thats my shop for sure... I recently ordered a huge assortment of stainless hardware, all packed in a compartmented plastic little brief case... Maybe 5 or 600 pieces... And knocked it all over hell in the middle of the last 5 projects laying on the bench..

Its like a dig in Egypt, you can go down through the layers and figure out more or less how old the project is... Like "Tool Time Carbon Dating"
