lol yeah the gravel was actually wet and soggy,kinda like oatmeal,lol. So when I punched the gas in the caddy,it just gripped and started to dig holes,lol.

I could have been total redneck and used our 1940 Ford 8N tractor,but I'm much more semi-urban redneck,so I used a car. Hey,I coulda had a mullet and a Camaro. lol

Actually,I really wanted to take a video of me doing it,but it took me about 4 tries and re-tying the rope twice before I got it flipped over.

I should do a barrel roll with it next time. lol

haha of course. Didn't want to risk the gas tank leaking or anything. After I had it flipped for about 10 mins I started to smell fuel,but I didn't leak any.

Plus,to tip it back over,I just rocked it about 3 times by hand and pushed it over lol. It bounced twice after it landed lol.

ya he has cracker in him and maybe a little red neck. if you have to flip your ride on it's side just to do some work and are to lazy to pull out a jack you might be a redneck.LOL hahahahahahahaha. and before some one has a fit over the cracker statement I am just kidding.

Yeah pretty soon. I need to pull the windshield so we can put it in my grandpa's Mazda,and I need to pull out the seatbelts and grey ext cab interior trim and the headliner. I also need to pull the power steering assembly and the transmission,and probably the head from the motor or the whole motor itself.

There's still lots of usable stuff on it,so I won't junk it til it's totally stripped. I've made a couple hundred bucks more selling parts from it than what I paid for it,so I've done pretty good. Almost the entire truck has been salvaged. It's making me seriously consider doing it again with another truck because this one was so successful.
