I will do your carbs when we come up for psycobilly 2.

Greased Lightning and some Duplo-color and it is better than any new tin.

If the only thing missing from your bus running is an engine and with your 
life is throwing disasters at you I'd take what parts you have and Mark's 
help an get back on the road. You can change out parts later, but with Mark 
I bet it will run so well you may not need to.

I wish he'd do it for me. I never did get my carbs done :
