Thread: Should I be ashamed?

Tweet

This is getting interesting.
Here are some more confessions...
I guess I got it from my Dad, I remember watching him rebuild carburetors on the kitchen table. And my Mom would cut him gaskets out of Tide boxes. We didn't have a lot of money, but we sure had a lot of fun with those $50 cars he'd buy. It seemed normal to us to have to:
Start the Henry J by using a long screwdriver through the floor.
Push start the GMC panel truck.
'Pop' the carburetor on the Studebaker with your hand because the choke didn't work.
Breakdown, hitchhike home and use one of the other cars to tow you home.
Change an engine with the old homemade pipe swingset.
Gee I miss my Dad...
At least I still have his truck!

yes i miss my dad to .and i have his GTO too i spent a lot of time with him and he passed at 40 years old .i was 10 at the time and wish he could be with me now that was 32 years ago and i still have a had time with it. time dose not help to much with it

What a small world. My dad was just a few months from 40 and I was 10 when he died. Almost 41 years ago.

Old timers have been using such a tool for years.

It's called a 55 gallon barrel. Just be sure one end is open and the barrel is clean. Can cut and weld right on top of it/.
