I am also curious. Did the recycler accept the shocks/struts. I have two more sets of shocks/rotors here for ya, along with a Lincoln bumper.

I've worked on almost every car/truck that my crew at work has.
My in-laws leave on Wednesday morning. Can I drop by in the afternoon?

Yes the recycler to all the steel scrap, including shocks, at $70 ton. I didn't have to separate anything. That was the minor portion at like $35. The stripped copper came in at $115.

All right kids, the new biz is now up and running (and hemorrhaging money like all good new businesses). There will be dangling issues and it'll be a little while before I have the couple g of play money I need to finish RX-Snake, but I'm starting to have time to work on it again. My brother and I are going to start putting in time every week on Tuesday's, and I'll catch what I can on the weekends as well.

Likewise, big2bird has the blower and is putting it back together.

Count me in, in a few weeks. I have about a month off after finals. We need to get the body done and primered at least.

Kinda. It's at Doug's, and close to landing with the right guy. It may take the winter, but it will be done right and cheap/free.

He knows some people. And when he doesn't, he knows people who do.

I have people. And like Ben says, my people have people. Iv'e just been around this hobby since I was 16 or so. That's a LONG time guys.

The guy that won Pebble Beach one year with the oldest known Model T Ford in existence sat next to me in H.S. He took over that job from me, although he was/is the better man for the job. He later became president of the Model T Ford Club of America for about 10 years running. we are still close friends.

The one master craftsman I can't seem to find anymore is a leadworker. I have just about given up. Although I do know a few 'show quality" bodywork/painters now.

It's getting quite hard to find good people now, but I keep my ears open. There are still guys around here that pour in place and machine babbitt bearings. Truely a dying art form.

I had a guy that did lead work. His name was Art Barker of Barker Customs. He did several projects with Stan Betz. Unfortunately Art fell victim to a brain tumor last year. He was a neat old guy and a magician with metal.

HP numbers are good and all, but they are like asking someone how much they can bench. What difference does it make if I can still kick your ass?

Yep. Art did the panels on the 2032. Never did meet him, but heard about him from Leonard Jennings.
