Aftermarket. Berk HFC and CBE.

Has a lot of miles on it too (around 86k). I may be better off just getting $$ for the scrap metal.

How much you want for everything? Bob is already planning to deliver some parts to me later this month. Not that I need them... if the price is right, flip them for a few bucks or pass the deal along to a friend.

The challenge around here is everyone thinks that their __________ (fill in the blank) is worth top dollar, even the cars on Craigslist. :gtfo2:


I can't really do anything until the insurance company cuts me a check. I'm just astounded that people are wanting stupid money for cars that are closer to the junk yard than the show room.... :rofl2::rofl2:

But if you had an issue, you've spent enough money with them that you have an easier time getting their attention than someone just looking to buy some test pipes :icon17:

Sometimes, being like family means you get treated like family if you know what I mean!

Anyone ever use an overhead crane to pick their vehicle up so that you can work on it? :rofl2:

We lifted anything and everything with the crane. We even had races down the aisle while holding the hook and rolling in office chairs. :icon17:

New VP of the shop had his $20K Snap On roll around delivered, we filled all the drawers with metal chips and parked it on the ceiling. :rofl2:

My brother made a game out of trying to hook one of the other lathe operators to the gantry when he wasn't paying attention. He got him just in time for the CEO to walk through.

The CEO just shook his head, laughed, and went about his business.

madwi 08-08-2018 08:00 PM

if you score the outside of a 20oz bottle with a razor blade it will blow up very well when connected to air hoses. We use to slide these under the machines catwalks where the operator was at and the reattach the air hose to the outlet about 40 feet away.

Shop shenanigans. Miss that stuff. :rofl2: There is a lot of creative guys out there that know nothing but hi-jink. We had a 300 ton Demag crane on-site at an oil refinery. We treated the crane operator real good. He would do anything for us. So one night. It was kind of slow. We had the crane operator picking up trucks and cars and move them around. We was doing all the rigging. The one truck belonged to a oil refinery foreman. :eek: We moved it from inside the fence to the outside of the fence. Should have seen his face come morning. He was looking for his truck inside the fence. Then he spotted it just outside of the fence. He never figured that one out until after we left the job. :rofl2:

Hi-spot bluing compound. The chit is like blue grease and won't wash off of your hands. It's like walnut stain. :eek: Someone would leave their air nozzle hooked up to the air line. We would remove the air nozzle and fill it with this Hi-spot bluing. Then attach the nozzle back on the air hose. The poor victim would then blow off his work piece. The piece would get COVERED with this chit. The victim would take about an hour to clean it up.

We used to put the compound in the finger tips of work gloves. Put your gloves on and work. You would take the gloves off and your finger tips would be blue. :shakes head:

This Hi-spot conpound was made by Dykem. :rofl2: I have a tube in my garage.

Someone had put some on one side of a flashlight. Then sat the flashlight on top of an urinal with the bluing facing the wall so that you couldn't see it. The Bearing Dept foreman walks in and decides to take a leak AT that urinal. While relieving himself. He grabs the flashlight with one hand and checks out the flashlight not knowing it has the bluing on it. Sits the flashlight back down on top of the urinal so that he can pull his zipper up. Spots the bluing on his hand. His fingers are covered. He's stuck. :rofl2: What to do. We don't know how he got his zipper up. But half hour after it happen. We ALL got called to a special meeting. Management said that if ANYONE gets caught bluing. They WILL BE FIRED ON TH SPOT. So everyone agreed not to do it. After the meeting. The shop went nuts bluing everything up. :eek: We was finding bluing for a week afterwards. :rofl2:
