    Ballast!!!

    Need somewhere between 70 and 100lbs of lead. Smiley's in Sherman has two 50lb bricks but I can't get up there any time soon and the one in Mesquite is out. Went to a few scrap yards and all they have are roof flashings that would need to be melted down.

    anybody got some I can borrow/buy?!

    Thanks!
    Ah, fugg it.

    I have a 65# block that Donovan & Irwin have both borrowed at Nats that I can bring.

    Glenn also seems to have an endless supply of ballast.

    That would rock! I am also trying to source some forklift plates too. Backup plans would be good. Just let me know your beer preference!

    Bring a drill w/ 1/2 bit...you'll have to drill two holes in your floor to install it.

    So the Focus can transport ballast but the Camaro can't?
    Must be an F-body thing. :roll:
