Steve Martin quotes (from his stand up days, back in the '70s):

Things you never hear anyone say - "Would you hand me that piano?"

Things you would never hear the hero say in a movie - "You can do what you want to the girl, but leave me alone!"

Is this true? Does the engine share the same oil as the transmission or does the transmission share the same oil as the engine?

I'm lost!

This waxoil coating slows my mini down and looks ugly, does someone know of an easy way to remove it and expose the underside metal panels? 

My lights are too bright and blind oncoming drivers, how can I dim the output?

HEY!!!.. now that's not nice...

Cranium
Inner and outer sills, left and right door steps, left-right-front-rear floors, and inner wings welded in place.  Moving to the boot area, then to the a-panels/front end.  Should have the welding done in 3 more years! :)

Battery Box removed, and rear valence removed.  Time to clean up the rust, and find the holes.
