Some of us Poles DO have a certain amount of know-it-all and basic ingenuity! Thanks, Mark. This is fun to look at. PS - this feature reminds me of the situation in Cuba, where ancient cars (from before Castro's time) are cobbled together and kept running even today, despite all laws of physics and common sense. Perhaps the custom hot rod craze of the 1960s didn't start in Southern California, but in Poland.
