Yup, yup, I could do some sittin' and whittlin'.

What kind of i.d.'s are we talking here? Little 1/2'' guys would be
easy. 1'' maybe so -- start with a old broomstick or something. But if
we're talking 1-1/2'', 2'' kind of guys . . . I can't see myself sitting
down with chunks of 2x2 or 4x4 and whittling myself anything more than a
sore hand.

I gotta spend some time under the engine cover and identify the coolant
lines (who's got a good map of these things) and see what I'm going to
be up against.
