"... offered for sky-high amounts where their identity and integrity are 
questionable ..."

There's a word for that ... can't think of it at the moment ... know it 
rhymes with 'clod,' 'plod' and 'shod.'


ps.  Do like the way he routed and secured the braided fuel line from 
the shroud to the carbs on the BJ8.   I've always wondered what to do 
with that line; I believe it's supposed to go in front of the carb above 
the fuel filter, but mine rubbed against the bonnet--I think that 
particular line was a bit too long--so I routed behind the carb.  Looks 
like a simple P-clip is the answer (chromed is over-the-top IMO).
