Keep The Junk!

By Ed "Big Daddy" Roth

I wanna thank the dudes over at Metal Masters in Salt Lake for doin' an extra terrestrial job on my latest show car "Stealth 2000." Those two dudes (Scott and Mark) always go the extra mile to buff the stuff like I ask 'em to. They do a lotta truck rims (photo) & slot machine parts for the Nevada Gaming Commission.

I finally got that whole car done & I was in the garage the other day lookin' over the left-over junk & discovered that after I swept up the floor and put everything in drawers, I've got enough parts left over to build another car. Along with the extra nuts & bolts, I've got a whole bunch o' chrome bracketry in my metal pile just waiting' to be fit onto a hip hoppin' burnout scootin' small block Chevy trike. Luckily I had left over a trike body of the "Asphalt Angel" variety, os most of what you see in that chrome drawer will end up in that machine...expected finish date is September, '00. 

I also have a lot of stainless steel braiding left from the brake lines. I like that stuff 'cause I was able to run it through the frame and around tight corners in the frame. In the photo, you can see I used electrical grommets to protect the stainless braiding from rubbing against the drilled holes and fraying the stainless steel covering.

Ya might say that my motto is "Keep The Junk." It's really handy when I need that "hard to find" gizmo for the new trike.
