Problem: rustbucket first car, frame breaks; axle shackles break; etc... can't fix it because ya can't weld rust. But you can tie it back together with bailing wire. Lots of small strands and weave a cable knot around the bits that should have been united but are now not. It worked very well, it gave the car a flexibility and spring that enabled some incredible stunts. Like the wood wing spar on a Spitfire, it made the machine much more alive. with the brake locks and our rear axle that moved 12in under load, we could hop from a standing start.
