Seems like fun Project. I like slants, had many of them. A manual trans makes it even more fun.
I’d roll in that.

I am building a numbers car. And I do not have deep pockets, I hope I will get it completed.....

I’d say the better name is “All mine”.Sounds like I found a name for this car though. Sacrilege.

Yeah, but unlike the previous post, you have all the numbers matching parts. Your pockets would have to get a lot deeper if you didn’t.

Probably nothin.
That's one of them old 'Dad tricks' to get your kids to fess up to their latest antics even when you don't know what they did. LOL
Probably nothin.

You guys got that rig in a new spot or are you floating?
We pulled the other platform. So in transit to another one. 2 lifts already cut and sitting on the bottom. One more cut and 3 lifts onto the barge and that platform will be gone as well.
Next one after that is going to take a while. At least 2 300ton lifts on it. The crane is rated for 500 tons so we should be good.

Not really following... What do you mean by 'cutting lifts' I thought it was like a boat with legs and you just retracted them.... And what exactly is on the bottom?
We are pulling up to platforms in the gulf we jack up out of the water and we are removing old platforms that have the wells plugged and abandoned. This is the last part of the process. When finished and legs or casings are removed 15' below the mud line you cant tell there was a platform there.
So we cut the old platforms into managable sizes to be lifted onto a barge, welded down and sent in to be recycled or turned into artificial reefs.

So, what happens to the platform? You gotta haul them in to shore for scrap?
They have a barge with tugs that does that part.

Where abouts are you now? How deep is it?
We do a different job with almost every client. Reconstruction, rezoneing, plug and abandon, repair to pipelines, transport wind generator parts, etc.
Last location was 85' of water, this one around 60' and last one about 35'. Last year we were in around 200' of water.
Last job was about 28 miles south of Gulf Shores, Miss. This one is south of Grand Isle, LA next will be Vermillion Bay area, La

200'? How far down do the legs on that thing reach. Do you do any of the under water work?
Legs are 335' long.
