Quote from: Uncle Buck on Mar 07, 2025, 03:57 PMHow about the piston and rod shelf brackets? Made,or bought?

I'm sorry I forgot to answer. I made the it. The pistons are from a Spitfire - the angled cap connecting rods were ideal for this.

The wrench lamp my wife got me some years ago. The wrenches seem to have started out as real tools but no markings to brand or COO.


As to the music - C&W seems to have taken a turn somewhere.

Loved the lamp as well, always thought something like that would be a good learn to weld project.
Thank you for the info on the VW's, the only one I was sure of from afar was the bug.  I wanted a slantback, but you never see them anymore.  I occasionally do see a  wagon, in fact that same green.

I can't say I have ever been a big C&W fan, and I have met more then my share of it's stars (one gal I worked with was po'd that I was less then two inches from some gal named Lorrie Morgan, and had no idea who she was, while talking to a friend of ours).  But it has never been the same since Bob's Country Bunker, had those "Blues brothers" playing both kinds of music, country and western.

The lamp would be a cool welding project. I can take some detailed pix and measurements if you want a project.

P.L.D.G. had a fastback. She bought it from a German guy that was in the US for a year or two and he wanted one - seems vintage VW's are pretty much non existent in Germany because of their TÜV car inspection program and he sold it when he went back.

Never met any C&W performers.
