Too bad you dont live closer Jonas...I'd come over and help you with it. I am one of the youngest ones here, and I can do pretty much anything on an older vehicle. I mean heck, how many 24 year olds can properly tune a flathead six with points ignition, or rebuild a carb, or even know how to start a truck with a pedal operated starter? hahahaha! when it comes to an older motor vehicle, I can do pretty much everything BUT body work, but once I get my pole barn up (you know, like Dana's Morton) I will learn body work. Where I fall short is being able to work on newer ones with EFI and computers and front wheel drive cars... I am now getting to where I can work on older GM and Dodge TBI injection systems... It was not untill about 4 years ago, I broke down and bought a EFI vehicle! Not all of us young fellers are as 'dumb' as most older folks think we are..I will admit, most of us are tho.... :) Take for example, in my growing collection, I have an old car with a torqe tube drive.... I have showed that to most of my young friends and they just freak, they have never seen anything like it!

Id rather drive a '70 Dodge truck with carb, points, AM radio, manual steering , grannie 4 speed, then drive a new Dodge truck with a 5.7 Hemi loaded with all the toys.
