    I like this version. Same song, better video. Thanks Dan!


    Apologies to anyone seeing their Mom dancing to Jeepster.

        If my guess is right, any offending Moms would have to be in England at that time. I had started my second marriage by then.

            Dropped the boys off to run X-C last evening, spent the next hour tackling the roof of the Commando.

            Yeah I was holding out on sharing the damage. Tree had fallen on the thing. Thought I could work with it though, so used it as a bargaining chip.

            As found.

              I have been looking at the creases and studying the order of damage over the last couple of weeks. There will need to be some shrinking done, especially around that now-reversed curve at the rear of the roof. Simply too much movement and stretching happened.

              Got out my cheap PORT-O-POWER, some blocks of wood, large crescent wrenches, channel locks, rubber mallet and went to work.

                And an hour later was rewarded with this. Not done, need another hour with the torch to shrink down the stretched metal at the rear.

                  Same cheap Port-o-Power I have (actually I have both the big one and the little one though mostly I use the little guy). For a home shop it works great. You done good with it!

                      Fantastic work, more proof that a half hour here and there, with the proper motivation, some experience, and a bit of luck, and you can pretty much "unf__k" just about anything.
                      Well done buddy! (your flotation tires are stored indoors waiting for you to come buy the boat)
                      There's always something new to learn.

                          We've had 12 inches of rain, the ground is saturated, and parking for the concert is on a perfectly mowed soccer field....the rain continues....I hope that the promoter has good insurance to cover damages...outdoor concert....rain or shine....

                            Pressure-washed yesterday............inside and outside, topside and bottomside. Yuck.

                            Not sure it looks much different. Smells different.
