This, I think, is my strongest motivation. I do get satisfaction from taking something that doesn't work and making it function.

Vash - a man after my own heart. I could have modified it to be multi-fuel capable - everything from wood chips to acetylene. Put some chrome here an there, pin striping, big rims, undercar neon lights under the frame. Flames? I dunno about painting flame on the outside of a BBQ grill. I might have to consult with Holloway's son for more hot rodding modifications.


This particular job went way over the estimated time to finish. I had to put a new sparker in it. Couldn't find a direct replacement and went for the universal, "doesn't fit anything right" unit. Had to take the whole dam grill apart to drill new holes to put the new sparker on. I had an hour in it and an hour to finish and had to decide do I abandon this turkey or keep working. It turned out OK. From the CL responses so far I'll get $40 for it before the weekend is out.
