[Chrysler300] Taking the G apart, (or any other car)

[JettLarry@xxxxxxx]

A bit of autophilosophy learned later in life than it should have  
been.......There is an ancient Chinese story concerning a peasant that was  chopping 
down a large tree on his property.  His neighbor watched him for a  half an hour 
chopping diligently but to little effect as the axe was very dull  and the 
wood quite green.  Finally he could no longer contain himself and  spoke:  "Ching 
Pi, your axe is dull, you must sharpen it!"  "No time"  exclaimed Ching Pi, I 
have this tree I must cut down"
 
As anxious as we are to start a restoration project, if our tools are not  
well organized, if we haven't built shelves to hold the parts, if we haven't  
installed hanging drop cords for light and power, if we have procrastinated  
about overhead air hose holders or organizing the wrenches and screwdrivers in a  
convenient spot, if we haven't compartmentalized all the various sizes of  
fasteners, nuts, bolts, washers, and the ability to know the proper names,  
measurements, and uses, if we haven't some plastic holders and files and an  
organizational scheme for the various papers we have hoarded over the years  
telling us how to assemble or handle some problem, if we assume that the various  
bags, boxes, and bundles we have, or will have, of parts will be OK spread  out 
all over the house and out buildings and we can remember where they all are  
without a plan, then the amount of time necessary to complete the restoration  
will take longer by far then if we spend a few weeks doing all the above 
before  turning the first wrench.  
 
Happy New Year to my favorite people.......Lefty of the  Internet.
