Thanks guys for the feedback!! Makes me want to post more :camera:
This is post 100, so I've got to make it a good one :cheers:
Here we go:
Session 019:
Figured I'd go ahead and get some practice with spot welds before trying to remove the tranny mount :P

Did I ever tell you guys how I love Harbor Freight?? ;) This pry bar pop's got me for X-mas was a life saver today:

Then I figured it was time to work on the Karcepts shifter kit.
I put the shift plate back in place to make sure the markings to slot the holes were accurate. Then I found my stash of rotary files. This one would be perfect:

Then after condensation coming out of my drill gun I figured it was time to install the water / oil filter on the compressor:

The local auto store would not take my gasoline I drained from the gas tank so I have been burning it in a barrel which I use to burn my spam papers from snail mail. I had the bottle to close to the barrel and the damn thing caught on fire (this jug is gas and oil). I thought for sure the house was going to burn down because the oil spilled onto the ground and there was a big fire. When I came back with the water hose which I had to get out of the garage, take to the faucet, hook up, and drag across the yard, the fire was out :o God was looking after me today =)

Seem like it was going to take forever with the 3" cutter:

But once you get through the metal just slice it down the seam:

Remember kids, safety first :P :

And after about 30 minutes (fumes would get bad after a minute so I would have to get out) on the same blade:
