Yes, Gus and Smokey Yunick were two regulars that got me into wrench
twisting as a kid.  I picked a story from 1965 about a collapsed gas tank
and loved the fix--pop the tank out with compressed air and drill a couple
of 1/16th inch holes in the cap!  It was a simpler time, but I actually did
that on my '84 Westy when the charcoal canister plugged, and switched it
with a new cap for emissions testing.

I bet some of the older NA listmembers will recognize these stories that
were published in Popular Science.
