After examining the picture I determined that nobody is wearing safety toed shoes.

If that had been a Model A I would think that they were draining the oil out of the rear main. Reminds me of the old days when guys made jack stands out of rear axle housings.

People were once pretty cavalier about yanking front ens up in the air, and no one would have whined about a couple of nicks in bumper back then. Bumpers were for bumping!
Go get your Service Bulletins and read the entry about special rear main tubes for BB grain trucks...

When you think about it a guy pulling on a spanner under the car could have tipped it off at some point. Probably happened.

Oddly enough I would never feel safe laying under a car supported by anything sold by Habor Freight.

I bet the guy working on it would have quite a bit to say to all of you if he were alive. You know, things like "back in my day when men were MEN..."

But if a Harbor Freight stand breaks, they'll replace it for free. There's probably a disclaimer sticker that says, "WE DON'T PAY MEDICAL BILLS!"
Seriously, though, I've had sooo much fun reading this thread that I don't think I need to go pee anymore!

What kind of car is it, maybe a Whippet? It has open drive shaft and drum headlights. It's hard to see much of the rad shell.

In the '60's, we raised gigantic Chrysler Imperials with a hoist, placed 4 huge, well made, identical height stands under the wheels and let the hoist down! This was done so we could use a special long fixture with protracters and a level to adjust the 2 piece drive shaft mount to specs, so as to eliminate "shuddering" on full throttle take offs.
Man! we were GOOD, never dropped one! Bill W.

My Uncle, "GUMP," carried his tools in a TOE SACK, poured 'em out beside the car, and everything was visible & handy!
