That scares me just looking at it! Darryll
Ed, I don't see a thing wrong in this picture. We good ole boys in TAN ah see do this all the time while smoking and drinking shine. Of course the average lifespan of a mechanic is a little shy of fourty five in our neck of the woods, but they're durn good 'uns, by cracky.

BTW, glad to hear the burns and vertebrae are healing well. Wouldn't want to miss Carlisle, now would you?

Wonder what he used to get it up in that postiion?
Probably his left hand. He needed his right hand to hold the braces.
Looks like the every day situations I've seen in the Dominican Republic......
Somehow by the construction materials used in the buildings in the background and the car itself it loooks like any Central or South American country or even the Dominican Republic as Alan said.
A few years back in Cancun I saw a Hotel going up that has 2x lumber hand wrapped wired together and stucco cement covered and that was holding up 4 stories...well when I looked it was still holding it up
If you think THAT's scarey, over in Taiwan and mainland China (among other places) they typically make scaffolding out of Bamboo poles. I've seen them go up as high as ten (yes, 10) stories! I've heard that they sometimes go even higher, but you wouldn't even get me NEAR something like that!
You all are talking 3rd world countries and here John & I are telling you it's just the way it's done in TN & OK!
Friend of mine was way down in Mexico, near the southern border, when he had a flat. He had the car up on a jack and was just finishing removing the old tire when his buddy grabs him and rolls him into the ditch. Maybe one second later a big truck comes roaring by, clips the fender and knocks the car right off the jack and into the same ditch, just missing my friend. The truck never even slowed down. Took them a day just to get the car out of the ditch so they could finish changing the tire. Gringos beware!
In here people drive like hell but over in Mexico City they really suck and don't start me with Italy (Rome especially).
