Re: (ET) weight box



I went past an automotive service center (Leighton's Garage, yes, the same
Leighton Reese, #66 Banner Engineering Corvette in the Trans-Am Series)
to dump some scrap metal in their metal bin; turns out these days metal
salvage companies pay almost nothing for clean metal; it doesn't pay to
haul it there, and some guys make the rounds picking out aluminum which
still does pay, leaving tons of steel parts;  it wouldn't take long to find
a
pile of brake rotors and such, if you don't want to wait to get a box full
of wheel weights...
