I guess there will always be some jobs that only a few have the tools, space, and skill to carry out. Take, for example, those fellows who are able to install new upgrade engines or paint the body.* At the other extreme are those who have few tools, no space, and little experience doing that kind of work. The details of every job should be posted, regardless of the skill and tool level needed -- as inspiration, encouragement, and motivation for everyone else. This also may trigger someone to come up with an easier way to do it. Take, for example, my wish for a shelf to hang from the roof of the raised poptop. My original clumsy approach was bandied about, better ways to accomplish it were posted, until Tom Buese invented a simple solution which has come to be known far and wide as the Buese Shelf. * Such people should be taken out and shot. -- Mike "Rocket J Squirrel" Elliott 71 Type 2: the Wonderbus 84 Westfalia: Mellow Yellow ("The Electrical Banana") 74 Utility Trailer.
