Farm-out! Very interesting. I'm pretty mechanically inclined, but the tiny stuff, especially, would make me nuts.

I figured I'd better bring it back to life before it's completely forgotten.

While I was a young kid growing up I always watched dad work in his shop with mechanical things. I learned to take stuff apart ………………. but never got stuff back together again. lol Why did the original maker of the item always have so many “extra” parts leftover was something I always wondered about.

Here's another full classic truck body build video. This time its a 1967 International Harvester Scout 800. 50 hours of work edited down to a peppy 19 minutes, including "1st ride" footage at end. May 2015.
Meow.

I would have loved that job since I don't really don't really like people. I like some of you, but I don't want to work with you. Put me in a room with a computer and something interesting, and I wouldn't want to leave.
