Update. I went over to see they guy this morning and he put it up on the
rack for me. He had driven the car and looked things over, noticing a
number of fuel and vacuum irregularities, but heard the creaking and
addressed none of them. He will not do work on a car with a cracked frame
rail.
Not to worry on that score. And I'll look pained no matter what they say.
The MB guy thinks that the only safe repair is to replace the rail in total
as it supports the front end of the car, but stopped short of saying that is
the only answer here. That needs to be decided by a welder.

When I went to get the car, necessitating signing a statement to the effect
that I was informed that the car was not safe to drive, the wife of the
owner [who does the front desk work] seemed surprised that I was going to
investigate having it fixed and not scrap it. I took it to the welders, and
You can believe I like this one [or sure hope to]!

Talked to the guys at the welding shop, and we are pretty sure the problem
was caused by an accident at some time in the past. They said under normal
driving I should not have any problems with it. It drives well, and next
week we stat with all the other stuff that needs adjusting.

Tried out my new [to me] grill tonight, and tried the rotisserie for the
first time in my life. Pretty basic stuff, I stuck two chickens on the
spit, put some BBQ rub on them and cranked it up. I was also dealing with
some grandkids at the time, and when I thought it was stable at 450 degrees

I wondered about that but caught someone's post that the high heat [though
not to 550] for 45 min was the method used in commercial units. Chicken was
tender, though at 45 minutes the inside 1/4 was a touch pink.
