wrenching on your car in crappy weather

And then there was the time that I needed to pull a transmission out of a 61 Fury at a junk yard. It was muddy due to recent rain, but I talked the owner into setting a 55 gallon oil drum under the back of the car and into the mud I went. This was the old style where the bell housing was bolted on, so just had to undo the tranny bolts from the bellhousing and pull it back onto an old tire. Just as I slid the tranny out from under the car, the whole thing slipped off of the oil drum and came crashing down. The stuff you do when you're a kid.....:oops:
