    On a ship I think the “little crane” is a gantry. From one proud dad to another, Happy Father’s Day Merlin. Your show is my best gift, so far

      Maybe a lifeboat davit - it does “save” your back!

      No sir it is called a Davit!!!

    • @tomrowe7534
      @tomrowe7534 3 месяца назад +6

      I stand corrected. A Davit is a single arm crane much like the pair that hold a life boat. I gantry appears to be supported on 2 sides much like a traffic signal or railroad crossing that supports the lights. I strive to learn something new everyday and have had a successful day.

    Speaking od sandrails and Porsches, i have a dune buggy tnat i inherited from my grandfather that has a 1963 3 liter Porsche air cooled flat six engine. My grandfather rebuilt and modified it to develop almost 300 horsepower and the car is a blast to drive. It spends almost as much time airborne as it does on the ground and has a top speed over 120mph.

    Merlin, Please find a Porsche 914-2. Fun to drive easy to work on. Cheap to buy, fix it up & sale it or drive it. The 6 cylinders sale for stupid money, even if it was a 4 & you convert it to a 6 or a GT conversion. I’ve seen some in such poor condition it’s yours to take it away. You do some amazing work. Fun to watch. Happy Fathers Day.

Fun build you have going on a 200hp 356 would scare the hell out of anyone and you know how to build one. Build a 400hp motor and dust everyone on the street on a 235 radial, you know you want to do it.
