Last time I haunted this space I had just "finished" a no-budget resto/upgrade of my truck. I did it myself in a buddy's back yard. It was crap, probably unsafe, and I drove it anyway. It spent the last fifteen years as a grocery getter, a moving van, a storage locker, a shop space... and an easy target for incontinent birds, property thieves and drunk drivers. In all that time it never failed to get me where I needed to be.
Last year I started hearing rod knock on startup. Rather than pour increasingly thick slime into the crankcase, I figured it was a good time to fix everything on my checklist. And why not make videos about the process, so my distant relatives can shake their heads and mutter, "I always knew that boy wasn't right in the head."
