Catching up on digest here, beg forgive etc. etc. No excuse LT, I still haven't taught my dad to change oil! I had to learn fast, growing up in a country household that normally had more cars than drivers but that was to improve the odds of finding a running car when you needed one... One of only two new cars that my father has ever bought was a Gremlin; that car cured him of buying new cars for 20 years, and then he bought a Nissan pick-up, a FAR better vehicle all though soul-less. His typical pattern was to spend a few hundreds of dollars for a 'new car', drive it until the repair costs would exceed a replacement cost, then start over. Our local junkyard had a row devoted to my family, started with a '47 Hudson, 20-odd years later I added my college ride, a '67 Plymouth VIP (coupe with 383 Commando V8 that drank almost as much oil as gas).

Jim, Congratulations on your son's welding, watchout or he'll surpass your skill soon! A very inspirational and entertaining blog on the Frankenheap, easily soaked up a few hours of dead time I had, and I haven't reached the most current post yet.
