67/68/69 cuda dilemma
Also got thrown a bone the other day. I needed some 3" C channel so i can make a jig to cut this axle tube down. Steel places around here want minimum sale of 10 foot. Well i dont need that much of it, or have a use for it for anything else. A buddy of mine mentioned a local metals recycling place. I went down there, and right in a metal scrap bin at the door opening to the place was a couple 3 foot long cut offs. I told the guy running the place i only needed 30" of it and actually 2 pieces at 15" long for an axle jig. He measured and cut me 2 pieces out of it 15" long, told me scrap steel was .45 cents a pound. So he weighed it, and said oh heck just take it. Bring it back when you wear it out lol. I thanked him for his generosity and left with my new treasure. Its even pre painted. Bottom pic is a still shot from a post in the 8.8 thread on narrowing the long tube. This is what i needed the steel C channel for.
