    Rather hear the engine than that "music".

      @ChadDrake4185  2 роки тому +1

      Thank you for the feedback. I left the engine sound in several clips. There was a lot of wind noise and dog barking going on so I felt the music would help. Something special about adding music to video in my opinion. Thanks again.

      Thank you! It was much easier than enlarging the door. Just kidding.. The first time I had to do that I actually used a floor jack and then had a little "collapse" as soon as I hit the driveway threshold. Those dollies are much safer.

    The oldest vehicle ive ever driven was a city owned 1965 IH flat bed truck - that was originally built as a high wall trash hauler with a 10ft long x 7ft wide bed- it was converted to a long wheel base step side pick up truck with the outside rims and tires removed- it was powered by a IH 345 hp V8 without turbo gasoline engine - tune ups were " fun " it had a duel point distributor and 4 barrel carb. and tuned headers and glass pk mufflers- the cops loved us lol - at least once a week i got pulled over for loud mufflers and illegal city stickers on the doors- but it was a legal city truck lmao
