Theresa and got to meet Mike @TA head 69? . Very nice guy, and a couple nice Mopars also. He showed us his Hobby/Side Gig. Which we didn't think of taking pics of his work.
He called them ANT NEST Castings. Maybe if he sees this he can post 1 or 2 up. Anyway we just want to give Mike a shout out for being so generous and giving the rearend for free !

Steve, he melts down aluminum, like old wheels and automatic transmission cases and pours them down ant nests (hills). Then very carefully digs out around it in a few days. Most people that do it use a water hose and shop vac when they get close, so they don't destroy the form. It's a form of art work. Some do ant hills and some do bees nests in the ground. Never seen one where somebody had enough molten aluminum to do a ground hog burrow....lol.
He has a bunch there. a lot of different metals . like copper, brass maybe . Silver ! Sells for a lot of cash !

Solenopsis Invictus. Invasive fire ant. It is upside down. It does have an eye bolt embedded in the bottom so it can hang correctly with a 3 rpm 110 volt 500 lb capacity gear box. Aluminum is 6061 billet block scrap from a friend's machine shop.
