Mike G. - sitting on a 5 gallon bucket, eh? Well that is exactly what my wife was doing while steering the 57' Chev out of the shop so I could turn it around. The new tilt steering column was only temporarily set in and she pulled back on the wheel, it can off and she fell off the bucket while the car started down the ramp. All the while I'm screaming "hit the brakes" which she couldn't find. Oh man! We just about hit a tree but managed by the grace of God to get it whoa'd. Very close call. I just got it back from 6 months at the body shop with new paint and visions of a big crash were going thru my mind. All is well now and it's backed into the shop so I can take the doghouse off and stick the new mill/tranny combo in it. Thank God she kept her cool and found the brake pedal with her hand. I think I went to the house to change my shorts.
