Least Favorite thing to work on a car.

[Roadcuda]

Working on any part of the fuel system. It's so hard to get that smell of gas off your hands.

Ain't that the truth. When I was growing up gas smelled great. Must have been all that lead I was inhaling.:rolling:

i do not like working on front alignments(ball joints,tie rods).i've got a friend that has a shop that i can take my car to if i don't have time myself.he lost a 69 RR in a fire last year when it was in the paint booth so i try to help him when i can to put some work his way

Hate replacing the engines. Always seems to be the biggest cost and i dont have a garage so everything gets done outside in the dirt, mud, rain, snow, wind, sun, etc.

Clutch overcenter spring

Yea I remember finding out what one of these were during a 4 speed swap out in a 70' Road Runner. The dash was in place , must have spent a couple of hours muscling it & as it always happens, you ask a buddy to give it try & they get it done in 5 minutes. Kind of like getting a lid off a glass jar with someone Else's help.

I have to admit I did not know what I was doing, the technique makes all the difference.

1) Installing a clutch over-center spring with the dash in place.

New one for me - installing any "universal" exhaust system.

sanding the underside.

 

[dodge41969]

Changing Motor Mounts, and Heater Cores on a/c equipped 66'-70' B-Bodies.

but I enjoy working on anything under the dash, changing harnesses,instrument clusters etc.

I can take out most clusters in a 1/2 hr.or less.

I hate being under any car that is not sitting on the tires. Call me paranoid, but I just get scared about the car falling on me. The last job I did was to change the front and rear tranny seals. We had to put the car up on both ends see saw style and throw under 4 jack stands. I added the two jacks too just because I get freaked out otherwise.

Those of you who just jack it up and get under it... You are nuts.

The worse thing that happens to me is that I fix something and the problem still happens. Replaced my truck's glow plugs 3 times this winter. ugggh.

I hate working on a car because I have to, not because I want to.

I wondered if the guy in the photo wasn't on the obituary page the next day. If he wasn't, it sure wasn't for lack of trying.

What's the big deal? He's got the wheel chocked.

Breaking off an exhaust flange bolt then breaking off another removing the exhaust manifold to drill out the first one then breaking off a head bolt removing the head to drill out that one. Anyone following this? Twenty minute down-pipe replacement turning into an all day event. (By the way it was a small block chevy.) Those types of nightmares you never forget!
