    Of course you need an oval beam. I had to junk a pretty cruddy 54 pan with a decent beam and split case trans about a year ago. Yeah that bus has southern pine needle rot. The pine needles brown, then everytime it rains they are slightly acidic. So everywhere they collect will rust.

    never seen a bay rust like that, wonder what the story was on that Taylor, always rust from the bottom up. your lucky you didn't cut a tendon, its life changing and happens more often than you think

      We were able to figure out that it was a Florida Bus for some amount of time. It had parking permits and club stickers for a Golf Resort down there. We found it parked under a tree in a fellows backyard pretty far from main roads. Yes, extremely lucky. Almost got all my movement back and surprisingly none of the nerve damage tingles, not yet anyway. Thanks for watching!

    You should soak the bolts in FREE ALL from O'Reilly's. Marcie June recommended it and I think Mike F N said something too, so I tried it, well, TBH it was better than Kroil.

    Too bad you hurt your hand, is Ben abusing you?
