It is true that parts get hoarded, but all the good parts get sent to the crusher when the hoarder dies, so people like me have to make do with utter rejects.

As for your fuel tank, have you considered putting a more modern tank inside it with openings that are exactly at the fuel filler, gas gauge, and outlet points?

It should look the part & function just as well.

A future source of club members may also be young ladies; and they will be welcomed.
Most people i know don't think they have a choice about the games. In a world that spits in your face & slashes your tired every day, games are their only refuge.
