Ow. Ow. Ow!

Way back in HS 60 years ago a friend got a Cadillac V8 and Hydramatic from the junkyard. Cheap. Then put it in a small coupe, maybe '34 Plymouth. But the motor mounts were welded up by a HS friend who had access to a stick welder somewhere.

Kid got on the dragstrip for the first time, revved up, dropped it into Drive ...

The motor spun in the chassis and took out the steering and the throttle control. He made it a few yards down the strip. For the second half of that with the coupe laying on its side.
