How to Make Whoa Mean Whoa! | Engels Coach Shop 

Agreed thanks for all your help,I've learned so much!

Eric from Surrey bc?

@@gordtemple764 sorry, but no.

Well said, you took the words right out of my mouth.

I had a 67 Ford pickup that I put a 350 Olds Rocket engine in that a guy at a tire shop scared himself with. I warned him that he had to be careful with it because it would take off like a bat out of a very hot place if you stepped on the gas. I told him to just pat the accelerator to move it into the shop. His response was to tell me that he could drive anything and that I didn't need to tell him how to drive that truck. When I went to pick it up after work I heard another guy yell "that guy's here to pick up that truck you nearly ran through the shop in!" I went into the shop over the cashier's objections and said "what's this about nearly running my truck through the shop?" The guy who said he could drive anything was at the other end of the shop looking very pale. I started laughing and said "I gotta see this." One of the other workers started laughing and took me over to show me the skid marks that started about 10 feet in front of the door and stopped about 3 feet from the back wall. He stopped with less than a foot between the bumper and one of the main supporting posts on the back wall. From where I had parked the truck to where the skid marks started was about 15 feet and he slid almost 40 feet with the last 30 feet being slick concrete. The guy telling me about said they heard the engine rev up and then they saw him sliding through the shop. He said that when the guy got out of the truck he was as white as snow and shaking like a leaf in the wind. He wouldn't back it out and one of the other workers had to back it out of the shop. Everybody in the shop wanted to know what I had in that thing.

Thank you.

*- Yes, Great Solution...{and obvious, too, once you think of it}...I was thinking of all the hammering/peening that would have to be done, or sand blasting...that would have been lots of work and never get to the needle scaler marked finish you came up with would produce, especially if applied to hot iron.*

Dave is going g to check that out.

Thank you. Dave says you're right.

Lol

Many of these “keyboard experts” are actual experts in mechanical engineering. Knowing the true mechanical advantage of this particular linkage is hardly a trivial point.

@@toddrf I wonder if the Justice Department and the FBI will become involved here for questioning the content of educational material.
