Looks awesome!

Dang, there is always a catch

SMART MONEY IS ON WENDELL HOWES TO DOMINATE CLASS AT ALANTA as i type this Wendell is in my shop taking out his 8.60 bracket motor and putting in his #2 motor for class he said his #1 motor is not finished yet but if he could get his induction man to finish his heads and intake he will have it at indy

How much time/effort do you think you've got invested in designing the manifold on the CAD programs? Always wondered how laborious that would be.

From the perspective of the uninformed it seems like it could be either real easy or real difficult.

Joe, You know you aren't allowed to drink and post!

i only typed what your dad was saying maybe he had a little to much to drink my money is still on him this weekend

<Wow that is amazing to me what these computerized mills are capable of...There is a lot of waste on those billet chunks though...I bet the local metal recycle center pays good for those grindings. >

There are a number of variable involved in how
much $$ Charlie might get back for his aluminum
chips. Yes he laid out $1000 for the block of
aluminum, but depending on the quality of the
aluminum he wants to use depends on if he needs
certs for the material or not. With out the metal
is cheaper to buy.

The scrap dealer pays by the pound and by the
qality of the chips, how clean vs oily.

Also pricing is based on how much weight of chips,
less than 100 lbs price is lower and so on.

We have called more than once, and they only want to pay me .10 a pound.
I need to build a foundry, and remelt it down.

Charlie,

You are selling your scrap at the bottom low
of the market right now.

I assume you have a scrap dealer who either
provides empty drums or a 4x4 or 4x6 bins for
you to accumulate the aluminum turnings.

The buying of scrap turnings is sort of a
pecking order, the street vender buys from
you for $0.10 lb for your 500-1000 lbs, then
sells it to the next guy up the chain for
an additional few pennies a lb along with tngs
from his other customers for that day or week,
then it goes on to another guy for another few
pennies more until it ends up with the company
who collects enough to make bails out of and
then it is sold to the final guy who melts it
all down and makes another inget or block of
aluminum that you then pay $1000 for so you can
make a new intake manifold out of it and start
the process all over again.

It's a big circle, but places like Boing are
NOT building many planes so the companies that
build parts for the planes are not buying metal
for manufacturing and so forth down the line.

Just my take on it.

After 2 rounds of qualifying at Budds Creek.
Bucky Hess #1 with an 8.583

good pass buy bucky hay bucky is that your bracket motor or your new one to bad you didnt go to altana with the other cars and see what it ran against the other ah cars see you soon at the races

hay bucky now i know what happened to wendall he left his stuff at my house to long and his car decided to be come a show pony he won best appering hay were the scales working at that race you went to joe
