Here is another classic tale. Matt, a friend of mine is hotrodding around our small town late at night in his 59 Vette. He has been laying rubber and doing spectacular burn-outs. There is only one cop car in town and he always waits until it is on the opposite end of town. Anyway, he snaps an axle. He is panicked because he has to drive 500 miles the next day to get back to his military base on time. So, he walked a few blocks to our friend, Mike's house, (who is the best Goodwrench mechanic around), and throws rocks at Mike's window until he wakes him up and explains his problem. Well, Mike the mechanic has a collection of axles from 55-64 big Chevys he has parted out and they fit the C1 Corvettes. They grab a good axle, an electric drill, a bit, some tools and a slide hammer/puller. They go back to the Vette, whick is sitting near the curb, and jack up the back end of the car. Mike tightens the bit into the drill (no electric outlet nearby) and holds it against the broken stub of the axle while Matt revs the 300 HP 327 with the four speed in reverse - and - the drill bit works its way into the axle stub - then - they can work the end of the slide hammer into place and pop out the rest of the axle. I love the cleverness of this one - no electricity nearby, but the drill does its job perfectly. We call it our 300 HP electric drill story.
