Whidbey island, you can drive off, have to cross Fidalgo island to get to mainland but it's really just like any other road unless you're at Deception Pass Bridge, that's different : )
Stop in for a cup of coffee

He had the ground stakes for this set up, they looked like large tent stakes, also olive drab green. They were too small though, would pull up/out for sure.
I'm going to grab my maul and pound one of em in, see how stable that is with only 4 feet out of the ground and just straight pipe going into dirt.

No, the “ground stakes” you need for those are basically a short piece of pipe that looks like the pipes you have, that are hinged , on side of the hinge is a large spike that goes to the ground.
now it could be one of the tension camo set ups where the weight and tension of the netting keeps it from moving

Be careful they will split easily
A reason to buy more tools, no?
Hypertherm.
So i did this today
need to replace tail panel and 1/4’s at the same time. Welded in braces into trunk so it stays put.
Best plasma cutter on the planet.
Damn, I am just crushed. I just got word that Dennis Hogan passed away. A great guy, a senior partner with Hogan/Hansen a The CPA firm my wife was a partner in. He loaned us money so I could get started in the tool business. Always a nice guy and respectful. 80 years old, he and his wife walked past the house twice a day and in good health. He tipped over in his kitchen over a cup of morning coffee.

My condolances to you and his family.
Fun to see the cars without the skin to see how they are constructed.
Sorry for the loss of your friend.
Damn, what a way to go. No pain and a good cup of coffee.
I *think* I have one of those in good condition. Might have come off my '67.
Let me know if I should look. I can check the Engine swap chapter to see if the p/n changed when the K-frame changed.
I know for sure I have an early transmission mount with two studs - that I bought new.
OK.. so if the engine is an 1981 /6 is the K different from the early A?

No telling what K it is. Lol. Mounts were completely different 73 up though…
I believe early v8 and /6 k frames are the same.
What year is your replacement k from.
It's our of a 65 Barracuda
oh yea!
Mine is from a '67 if my memory serves. K change from 66 to 67, then minor change in 68 (idler arm mount) and then to the spool mounts in'73
