Got Another Little Tool Again

[longbike]

 Aloha ,

     My Storage Locker Buyer Friend and our Diving Partner and he own's a .... Small  Dive Shop here came over
yesterday and we sit down and have a snack and ... Talk Diving for the weekend coming up.

Now he tells me .... " Hey Man in the back of the truck got you another ..Little Toy as he referred to it. He says
got it in a Storage on the other side of the Island and figured you can use it , I don't do them as you know right... ?
So I go over to the truck and all of this is in there and asked him ..."Where this going man .... ?? 
           He say's it's for you for mess with when you do things with all your contraption's in there., and I said WOW
that's a nice set up. He says it was in a Wooden Crate all packed up with no name on it.

So now another very nice ...... 8 - 10 Inch .... Work Lathe to use.



NOTE check this out :
       He tells me it was a huge locker a double unit but the locker was a .... Unseen sealed closed sale.
He tells me...... Bro you never believe what else was in it at the back under a big canvas.
       He says .... " There was a ..... 24 Foot Drag Boat on the trailer and in the boat was ..... '" A Blown Kieth Black 426 Hemi in it ".
I said man that was cool and worth the money heh.. He said I bid paid ...... $450.00 Dollars for the locker against ...3 other women.
This guy comes around so many good locker and deals and he always shows up here at the house with things.

    Thank you Sir , 
       I keep telling him ......" What is next and he keeps saying ... just take it for any work to be done ".
This comes in handy for small work like we need to do and for his boat that we use  also.
He and I go back some years when he lived in ...... Whittier, Califiornia and I did also in .... San Pedro and Whittier also.. 
   I used to drive for him at ........ The Drags and did his engine and welding work and we got along always.

If you have the space for it, I can definitely see that could come in handy!

     Thanks and yes these were .... The Muscle in its day and still is in many areas.
I actually loved the ...Old 392 Motors and they did well but we had to do a lot of work on them also .
      My Good Friend for many years .... Jim Dunn from California that was sponsored by 
....... Reath Automotive for many years really liked that old ... 392's and he did good with them.
     
  I ran a Street Rod ..... ' 55 Chevy 210 that had a ........ Blown 392 Block in it and it worked good too.
Then a Friend gave me a ..... 426 and .... My Friend Don Hampton gave me with a ..... 671 Blower Set Up for it so I swapped
.... The 392 out and ran the .... 426 Hemi Motor in it for some time.
         Then I moved to Whittier I built a .... Street Legal 1969 Camaro Funny Car and ran that for a few years then I sold it to a
..... Young Kid and he recked it 8 weeks later.
