My personal nightmare

[LMBRJQ 60]

I wouldn't do that Brad, I learned my skills working in a shop full of old mechanics, they got great enjoyment watching me learn how to figure out and work on cars with all there shenanigans.

My dad who was with us at Great Bend was the youngest certified Mechanic in New Zealand 1964.
He worked in the local GM, Vauxhall, Bedford agent workshop. Everything that was odd ball or not of the breed that they used to work on got given to him. He recons it was the best way to do an appreticship, made you think

[IMBVSUR?]

Come on Don. That car could be very special if you think of it as being built from the collected rust flakes blown by the winds from the Eifel tower

[Don Jacks]

Is this how it all starts when you're about to commit to a new project La?

[La Hot Rods]

Yes, I have that taste in my mouth now after an hour and a half trying to get one nut started on a Ferrari power window motor.

 

[Phil Reed]

CHARGE BY THE HOUR!!!!!

 

[skipxt4]

Let it out.

 

[La Hot Rods]

I had to call uncle. I'll try again tomorrow.

 

[55Brodie]

Try calling "zio"!

So when I was down there today glass beading my Intake you were running the window up and down. Still needing to put hardware in there?
I guess you could just cut a big hole in the door with the Saw Weld it back in and hit it with a rattle can! I have some gloss black. See I helped out and gave you an easy way to fix it! I’m sure Sean doesn’t mind he just wants it to work right? it’s not our car, probably wouldn’t have to worry about working on the Ferrari any more.....

Went to work on the MGA yesterday, don't see Chris smiling very often when he's work on a car.

 

[oleblu72]

Looks like that's a sleeping bag he's leaning on and is a sure fire sign he's working on something made by Lucas the "Prince of Darkness".

Out knocking down the yard and look what shows up, man I can't catch a break.

 

[Iowa 409 Guy]

Easy to fix. Some mower gas and a match.

Chris did bring beer and water, he even tried to get my weed eater running not that concern myself with that. What the John Deere gets is close enough for me.
