David, the best "job" was the one that I did while a freshman at University of Florida. We had a high curb in front of our dormitory, so we used wood blocks as ramps and I nursed the car w/slipping clutch up the blocks until the front wheels were on the curb. That gave us about 12" of crawling space, which was enough to drop the tranny and clutch. Then I strapped the iron flywheel to the book rack of my trusty Raleigh Record 10-Speed and rode the 3 miles to the local machine shop that charged me $30 (a lot of money in 1981) to resurface it. Wheelies were really easy on that bike that afternoon! Hey, the car survived the trek to So Cal about 2 months later, so we must have done good.
