Nice Montego. I think it would be awesome to participate on the HRPT. It looked like they were using the bumper jack on that Montego. Do the rest of you guys use the original jack like that, or carry a hydraulic bottle jack? ------------- JT, USAF Ret./Architect 1971 Ford F100 "Lizzy" 1971 Cougar XR7 "Kitty" 1984 Chevy Silverado "Sylvia" 2009 Smart Fortwo Cabrio "Lil Dude" 2015 Volvo XC60 R-Design "Sven" |

I carry a hydraulic jack. I remember my Dad using that bumper jack on the side of the highway changing a tire. How anyone ever trusted those things is beyond me. Scary stuff! ------------- Carlos....1975 Gran Torino Squire Station Wagon restored to look like a 1973 Torino Station Wagon my Dad bought new from McAnary Ford on June 6, 1973 in Gary,Indiana |

Joanne was sitting in car at the time and it scared the  out of her.Have a hydraulic jack in all my cars now.------------- 1zebra3 76 S&H Torino 70 mustang MACH 1 73 MACH 1 79 F-350 (SOLD)DAMN 89 STANG LX COUPE 04 F-150 |
