It was one of those "blow a boost hose while passing a truck on the interstate at 11pm when you're 50 miles from home" kinda days...
Fortunately MacGyver was a student of my father, and I've refined the craft a bit...
Clearly the best solution was to shove a high dollar hand saw scabbard between the clamping bolt and the coolant reservoir
I kept it under 2-3 psi boost, but I was able to run 75+mph on the interstate and drop to about 68-70mph on the hills.
When I got close to the house, I tested it out and found that it leaks at about 5psi but didn't blow the hose off

Holy shit...You Know when you see something like this, there's a Reason, it's still there!
Would have a couple more pictures, but the owner's Wife showed up. No, Not for sale!
[So why leave it at an abandoned house, unprotected?]

Just got a text from the guy that bought this truck from me two years ago saying he’s finally got it on the road.

Them bitches were heavy as hell. Got everything cut and split today and I’d say about 4 cords out of the 100’ or so tall oak. Had to drag the base log that was about 14’ and 30” diameter that the Jeep had a hard time dragging.

67, like Steve McQueen drove in Bullitt. Can't determine if it's a GT, or just Coup. Didn't get to investigate it.

Trees are mostly round, but you don't need a curved blade to cut them!

That's why that back louvered section looked familiar.

I'm trying to figure out how the second bend occurred. The big bend is obvious, but not so sure about the second one.
Also, this pretty much proves that Stihl makes the best chain. Even the Husqvarna guys admit it, but this is anecdotally unquestionable.

I feel bad for that guy’s insurance provider.
