'Brick' is a term from probably the 50's and before. If I said,
(use pinched posh british accent) "your a brick old fellow" I would
be conveying thanks for something that you may have done for
me, or perhaps just referring to you as a good friend....much the same
as 'he's a good egg', another Enid Blyton(sp?) type phrase. The opposite
of such a phrase is "he's a cad/boundah/rotten egg".

I will be welding in a new floor pan this weekend. How should I attach
the pan to the rocker panel for welding??
