Matter a fact I had this 87 TBI 350 chevy pickup well it was geared to pull the gates off of hell probably would do 80mph wide open. Anyhow late one night 2-3am the K9 Durango had been sitting there for hours In the Walmart parking lot so I decided to do donuts around it a good 5 times then left to go home. Wasn't a mile up the road said empty police car wasn't so empty. He gave me a talking, but in the end he was pretty laid back and let me go with a warning.

I've been verbally kicked out aswell as escorted out of towns for raising Kane they couldn't prove nothing but knew it was my car it was pretty dumb but i had some fun in my younger days.

Such a rebel. Still acting like your 70 yrs old I see.

How do you attach the feathers to the hook?

How do you attach the feathers to the hook?

The feathers and materials are held onto the hook with thread by maintaining tension while wrapping and binding them down. Everything is either wrapped or counter wrapped.

It's a process forsure havoc sent me a video one time and it was pretty cool to watch.

I learned before YouTube too. It’s a helluva lot easier to learn now. I read books with pictures, dumped my desk over a few times, threw everything across the room. Put it away for weeks at a time until I finally got it. Lol

My fly tying equivalent also not learned on the tube of you. By the way what a pain to work on basically had to pull the dash this was a cuss of a job avoid the newer 15+ escapes unless you enjoy pain and torture both physically and mentally.

This was about 10-20mins in after that I said the heck with pictures.

The few times I’ve had the dash off of a car I wished I never took the damn thing off at all. Lol

Just what you see was 8 pieces it's a jigsaw puzzle of plastic crap, air bags and sensors doesn't count the center console, shifter and climate control and the passenger side then you have to some how not break anything and then get gear driven tiny ass sensors in tiny ass spot back in with tiny clips, torx bits and plugs. I've pulled plenty out on pre 2005 vehicles to do heater cores etc etc Never again on one of these it's no exaggeration how I'm describing it is pretty much child's play to the actual work involved.

I know how bad it is buddy. I used to fiddle around with cars a little. I realized it isn’t for me. I’ve done just about everything once. That was plenty.
How you find it enjoyable is beyond me.

I did it for a living thousands of times each vehicle is a different beast I'd rather rebuild a engine including pulling it an putting it back in then do that job again. I don't find it enjoyable unless it's to make something faster or better, I do it on the side once in a blue moon to help others out and to make a little money nope not enjoyable at all but necessary here and there.
