Quick and dirty but awesome creeper

Nice build and excellent re-purposing, Jere! I also hear you about the depression era mindset! Reminded me of my "Hemi-Hauler" I made a couple hundred years ago out of an old bed frame and other scraps. I did a lot of brakes and front end stuff over those years plus Lots of motorcycle work and got tired of being on my knees. A thought for your cover is re-purposing an old car seat covering, the woven nylon type, hold up better than naughahyde/vinyl. I used that on my Hemi-Hauler seat and it's still on there, surviving screwdrivers, chemicals, my big'o bum (6'6" 250) and the kids riding it down the driveway...still have it. Wish they had Inline skates back then...nothing more irritating than getting caught on a crack or pebble while trying to hold 50lbs or more with one hand! ~¿@ Thanks for the share and memories! ~PJ

Great idea for the cover that older stuff really does hold up better. I will see what i can track down. Your hemi hauler sounds really cool, you should share it if you get a chance. I think people today rely to much on just buying new when the old breaks. We are slowly losing our ingenuity one generation at a time. Sharing older ideas and designs seems like a good way to reverse that.
