Smoke a cigar under the welding hood-----

I knew a guy named NYE FRANK that smoked tipperillos all the time--he had cut out a section of his hood and put a metal shield there so he could smoke the tipper ---he was a very good metal worker who worked in Quincy's shop(old age i don't remember if that was first or last name) they built lots of Indy cars, Mickey Thompson's stuff, land speed record streamliners

Unfortunately he was beaten to death by some home invaders , sure was a tragic lost to automotive history



Quinn Epperly--remembered finally (well after 2 cups of coffee)

HummmmmmTake the galvanized you have to the scrap metal place and trade in for stuff that is not.


Just kidding.

Tell you what, Gary. There's 221 existing spindles and they weigh about 1.5# or a little better each so I figure that I might get about $0.75 each for the galvanized pieces if I'm really lucky, less fuel to take them to the scrap yard ($20) so I might net $145 for them. The new ones are $3.50 to $6 each, depending on how fancy you want them, so I'll drop $775 to $1350 for new material. If you want to make me a deal on the old ones that keeps me whole send me a check and I'll stack 'em up by a tree for you till your next trip to Kansas - they won't rust!

Don't think it did not cross my mind to toss them, but I'm just too cheap!
