Ask him if he's ever put sawdust in one of those old 4-11 rear ends to quieten down the pinon howl.
That sounds familiar LOL, I think I remember him telling me that once. He also made a head gasket out of shellacked cardboard, and there was some other part he wrapped in bacon just before he sold the car, but I can't remember what it was. May have been something in the transmission.....
