I've been doing muscle cars, trucks and 4x4's for 30+ years. When the A became mine, I thought I'd build a way that I could enjoy.

I found this site when surfing and looking for a more friendly forum to "crafters". Back in the 50's and 60's they built with what was available. I feel I am doing the same thing, just with a few nods toward safety and available parts.

I'm glad I found this place and hope I can do my part to keep it (and "crafting") alive.

P.S. I've tried snails. With enough garlic and butter.........

Nothing to be sorry about Eric..................especially since you understand basic culinary..........put enough garlic on anything and; yummy (that goes for pork fat too!) Being a good "celebrate diversity" kind of guy I've tried a lot of unconventional to the US palette kind of foods. My Italian heritage brought lots of seafood items to the table......eels included (fried with garlic......yummy). I remember when stationed in Thailand back when, there were a lot of guys who just couldn't imagine eating local delicacies. I ate some stuff there that was delicious, but to this day I still don't know what it was. Didn't kill them, didn't kill me...............just enjoy.

I'm betting it was the HAMB since that's where the self appointed traditional police like to hang. As Jack mentioned we're not as vicious about defending our own opinions.............but can be subtly..............strong willed.

Roger, you just reminded me of grandad..........he another lifelong Kansan. His recipe for fish:
Choose your favorite fish.
Season to taste.
Place carefully on a thin pine plank with corn oil to lessen sticking.
Place on the grill over moderate pile of charcoal.
Cover to hold in moisture.
Remove planked fish from fire once flesh turns opaque.
Scrape the fish off the plank into the garbage can and eat the plank.
