that way, i could wind up with one and clamp to the roof truss, then insert the second winder, have a good grip on it, then release the first. just rinse and repeat. that method worked great, and my head and teeth thanked Stu profusely for that tip ! bow biggrin

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Yes,it looked like his parking situation was challenging to say the least. Not uncommon in SF.

His wife cleaned out the garage so the Roadrunner can fit in it.

Remember all his exhaust changes? I swear he tried 4 different versions over the years on that car. Most were pretty wierd.

Not sure whether Stu ever knew it or not, but he helped put my art on the map when he had me do this cartoon of his Road Runner. Before the side pipes... 2008 was a very long time ago!
