Makeshift Axle Puller, Circa 1966

[HitIt]

Thomas Voehringer, the HOT ROD archivist, found this cool photo from the NHRA Nationals in 1966. That’s Ed Miller’s ’65 Plymouth Hemi, which won the S/S class in 1966 with both the lowest ET and highest top speed of any S/S car. Looks like a nice rolling slide hammer they’ve got there. That’s some ingenuity.

If it gets the job done, then why not use it. We need more of the old American ingenuity.

 

[MoparMitch]

I love the ingenuity.

What the heck if it works use it, I like the bald bias ply tire on that spare...

we used to actually only use a 10 foot loging chain. hook up one end then whip it like a rope.

 

[Meep-Meep]

Haha! I'm filing that away in the archives of automotive ingenuity.
