Okay, now you've got me started.
In an old, 60s issue of Hot Rod Magazine there was a cartoon that showed a guy tearing into his engine at a drive-in movie. His girlfriend was setting in the hot rod, arms crossed and obviously disgruntled. The guy was explaining to the car next to him and the caption was, "She won't neck, and I've seen the movie."
A friend, my best at the time, and I got the idea to try something like the cartoon. We got an old oil pan, a couple of pistons and a few other parts and headed for the local drive-in, finding a place to park near a couple of other rods. We had pulled three plug wires so the engine was running bad when we pulled in. We jacked my car up, a 34 Ford coupe, and began making noises like we were working on the engine. As others watched we tossed out the oil pan, then a piston then another piston and kept making our wrenching noises while we drew an audience of 'car guys' wanting to know what we were doing. We put the plug wires back on, sneaked the oil pan and parts back in the car then started it up. It ran great after our 'rebuild' and we got an ovation from the people standing around and watching. This was in the summer of 1962. In July of 2007 I had a reunion with that old friend and we shared a good laugh about that summer night when we were just kids.
