Moving the Cars!

One of the things about moving is that there are so many things that have to go. Most of them are reasonably easy, but when trying to move 2 cars that don't run, a lot of sweat equity is involved. Jim and Jon have had 1957 Chevy's for a long time and neither have been on the road in years. I think it's been like since 1991. Anyway, JR was going to sell his and Jon was going to have to take possession of his. Jon decided that he wanted both of them. The problem was that there had to be a place to put them besides our now for sale garage. So, they bought a couple more shipping cargo containers (I've told you about those before), had them hauled to the mountains (luckily we have 45 acres up there), and then had to put them on the car hauler and take them up there. The first one was Jon's 4 door hardtop. It took them seven hours to get the tires pumped up, get it out of the garage, and onto the car carrier. The next one, the convertible only took 3 1/2 hours. I guess they got a system down after the first one. Now, mind you, the engines don't start, so all of this had to be done with pushing. I helped a little by getting in the cars and steering them. Then they were hauled off to Cashiers and put in the containers. Now the boys are looking at all the car magazines, buying engines to be rebuilt, planning driving tours, etc. Beautiful cars...we had lots of fun with the convertible when it was running and I'd like to ride in it one more time before I die!
