h the tales my 'mutt' of a '69 could tell...

10 penny nail holding on the accelerator pedal
A single bolt holding on the bench seat (great rocking chair every time you'd accelerate)
Non-stock wiring that had at least 4 different gauges per line (on average) and a slew of different connector types (including duct tape insulation)
Lift blocks and u-bolts welded to the rear perches
Shoddy, off-angle frame rail patch that was booger welded
Yadda, yadda, yadda

...Makes a great re-engineering project bringing it back to life (okay, and a lot of cursing).
