easy does it

























































The pour crew was awesome and had to plan a pouring method for the car. I found it fascinating to watch these guys do this. It is extremely important to plan the route of a pour ahead of time since this is a team effort. This pour required special focus on how to get the ladle, which is like a giant bowl that holds the iron, from point a (the furnace) to point b (up on scaffolding above the car.) I do believe they pretest first with each person who was doing the pour.

It was a fireworks show. The pour crew did an awesome job. I was proud of all the hard work and thought that was required by them. It was nuts - they poured into a car in the dark - omg they might as well be doing it blindfolded. I was dumbstruck.
