    G, day Mate, greetings from here on the West Coast side of Australia 🌏 , bush mechanic central. Your work is incredibly amazing, over here we're surrounded by abandoned vehicles from the earlier era, many just sitting out there in the Outback, perfectly preserved, no salt, little water, lot's of sun. To think of the number I have driven straight past, if only we had this technology back then, you're a real inspiration, more power to ya. All the best regards. Looking forward to seeing your new episode.

    My uncle Ed had an '81 Monte Carlo, brown, tan seats, woodgrain dash, 231 V6 2 barrel. It puffed out some oil smoke, the drivers door wouldn't stay open and the speedo needle would squeak as it climbed. The suspension and frame would also make noise.
