It was me and I stand ready to snag others I can find. I have no (very little actually) shame. Can't wait to see them in person! n

Me too! Seems like we've had a rash of car issues recently too. Water pump, thermostat, plugs, and a coil. And I think I'm starting to hear the low moan of a wheel bearing starting to go out. Forgot about a bad cell in a battery, so add a new battery too. All on the same vehicle...

In the past 3 years, I've had to have my transmission rebuilt ($2500), a junk yard rear differential installed ($1500), and a junk yard engine installed ($2300). And now I find it needs a tune up, and a few other bugs with this engine. My next car is going to be a bicycle.

I think you will be very happy with them. I almost decided to keep them for myself and put them on my CBOB.

Well, they will be on a CBOB, just in a different state. n

I have enough of the same wood for a couple more sets. Just keep an eye on the site.
