I had a chance to buy one of those intakes back in 07 for 400 bucks, with carbs. But I didn't have an RB block and didn't know about the value of them things

Just goes to show, drugs are big business!Holy Smokes! That mix a whole lotta narcotics. And I used to get a rush out of pushing the start buttons on 300 horse motors at the rock farm
Just got back from driving to what used to be one of the best places to buy any sort of metal. Now, the new stuff is limited to mass volume and you have to put your order in at the desk. The original building and surrounding yard is 'surplus' and I did luck out there for a few things. They also still have lots of used machinery, tools, as well as new and surplus supplies. I picked up new US made cutting disks, and old stock light switches and recepticles. Also managed to find 7' section galvanized pipe for a clothespole and fence.
Unfortunately they didn't have the 2 x 2 tubing for the frame connectors in either new or surplus. We wanted .083" and all they had was 14 ga or 1/8. Nothing inbetween. So that will be another trip.
Dude, I work in a steel warehouse... We have everything, and if we ain't got it, we can... Fast....
Our outlet has 1 out of five saws in the world that is capable of cutting up to a 28" diameter....
That's huge!

Yeah, when we fire up the really big stuff doing testing in Berwick, we have to notify the nuclear power plant there so they can balance the local electrical grid to take the massive power draw.

Good idea Ray. Time for a ride. Crud is starting to get close on the radar and the satellite. Keep the shiny side up y'all.

What's funny is that you think you got us good... little do you know I'd messaged Mike long before your reports and had him delete some of the post due to operation security concerns and this being a public forum. So I don't care that they were deleted.
What does irritate me is a vindicative a-hole who's only purpose for reporting post that were otherwise well within the normal rules and discussion that takes place here merely cause you got slapped for the **** crap the other day. Don't think you're fooling anyone.
Further more, I work on a retainer. I am salary, I have to show up whether we have actual stuff to do or not. It is fully allowed by my employer to browse this site and any other I want. I've asked and gotten that in writing. When actual work comes up, I do it. Until then, I'm lucky and paid to surf or work on homework. You have no authority whatsoever to say what I should or should not be doing.

Fazzio's was pretty big, but I don't think they ever had that capacity!
That is impressive.
I somehow keep missing all this stuff...
Maybe not such a bad thing...

Fair enough
The attitude at the New Fazzios was the opposite. If its not one of the samples on the wall, then TS.
Even though I had my reciept showing the tubing I wanted again, it didn't matter. Old days if you didn't know for sure, they'ld point you to the right area and help out as much as you wanted, cut the stuff to whatever length you needed within reason. Now its a totally different business model, they might have divided the company or something. I have no regrets in going and finding out the new situation. Surplus operation is still worth visiting for the things they may have.

68F downunder today...just lovely
Temp peaked at -6 and howling wind today. Was chilly. Felt warmer the other morning when it was -20. Even though it has been below normal,the ice under the bridge is starting to let go.
This day in 1997 was a massive snowstorm. And followed with near record flooding. So, it could be worse.

That was my baby that I spec’d and oversaw the installation and programming of to do its work. It was designed to move 800 lb pieces of equipment around in a small space and place them accurately within 1 mm of where then needed to be.
It’s name was “Gort”. See if anyone knows the movie reference for where I got it from.

You missed a golden opportunity there...

LOL, that clip always makes me laugh. Gort would have ripped it off and placed it where he didn’t want it.
