My buddy with the pulling truck brought over some wheel centers for me to trim, as they were about 1/8" too big for the new wider wheels he had. Another friend who was a whiz on the lathe had cut them out for him out of the scrap pile when they both worked at Mare Island. So I chuck one up on my 16x60 South Bend, with a new carbide cutter thinking no problem  SCREEEEEE! and create a long wire and much smoke  Slowed it down, same thing, cutting a wire with much smoke and noise, very slow progress. Used up 4 carbides getting it done, and I asked him WTH is that stuff??? He says it's Ducol steel- which had many uses, including WWII battleship armour. Mare Island scrap pile indeed 

1957 Ford Courier Sedan Delivery, second owner, original to Sacramento. The gal I got it from rode home in it with her dad when he bought it in the fall of '56, and she and her husband took it on their honeymoon. Original 223 six-cylinder runs, has 3 spd on the column. Pretty much all original, dog dish hub caps etc., appears to have been repainted once. Seat has been reupholstered and looks good. Car will run and drive but needs brakes, wheel cylinders are shot from sitting in storage. Clean title on Non-Op. I have many extra parts to go with it, including a complete station wagon two-piece tailgate, taillight lenses, bumpers etc. More parts I accumulated for it (not included at this point) can be negotiated- I have an 80's toploader 3+1 OD trans, a 1970 R11 3spd with OD from an F100, nice FPA headers for FE engine, bellhousings, C6 auto etc. Also have a new repop set of 15x7 Magnum 500 wheels, and a set of Mustang Bullitt 17" wheels. Also could supply a fresh 390 or 428. Was jazzed about this one and gathered a lot of stuff for it, was going to put a 427 in it, and then picked up that hot rod 56 Bird, something has to go, have too many. Your mural or business name will look great on this one. $12,000   In 94558

I have a new old stock set of Mickey Thompson aluminum FE rods from 1965 and they use Allen heads like that.

I had a NOS set like that in the box that I found at Turlock, and sold to someone- same ones?

Maverick drag race car built by Top Fuel veteran Arnold Birky and the "Birky Bunch" around the blown Keith Black engine from his Nostalgia Top Fuel car. Very nicely built, very stout and certified to 8.50 ET (I think the cert just expired, needs renewal). Currie rear end with ladder bars, coilovers and wheelie bars, drop axle in front. Car made a few partial passes due to clutch problems and went very straight. Next car was being built, Fuel Altered style, so engine/clutch was pulled for that car. Selling as a roller including the wheels/tires, functioning brakes, fire system, seat, fuel cell, chute setup etc. as seen in photos. Had to stop for a pic by the starting line on "Paradise Road" bringing it home. Excellent home for a high-horsepower FE, SOHC, 460 etc. Just have too many, something has to go. No canned responses please, "Is this item available" etc. $7500 rolling
