So as not to step on Doc's topic. This may actually be worse than those cars he posted. Lots of old Chevys getting hacked up with this silliness.

I watched a minute and a half. Just because you can do it does not mean you should do it.

How do they keep the driveshaft in those cars? They reinforce the rear end, but the driveshaft has to move an incredible amount of distance, yet has to stay in the transmission. Every time those things hop and hit the ground, it bends something. You never see a picture of the engine in those cars. You have to admire the work that goes into that, how they make hydraulics work so fast. It's an attrocious waste of old cars. But, there again, like old radios, car collectors wring their hands, while the "hop guys" step up to the plate with the cash....... :cry: :oops: :roll:

They've been doing that for years and years now. It's a wonder they can find old units to destroy anymore.
