So most of the stuff that I work on is old and old stuff has the tendency to be stubborn. By stubborn, I mean that often it just doesn’t want to come apart. A great example is an old flathead Ford that we recently rebuilt. The heads and intake had seemingly become one with the block and once we finally got them removed, we were greeted by gasket material that had become imbedded in the gasket surface after decades of service.

I love Gerstner boxes. A good pal of mine gave me an absolutely mint Apprentice box a few years ago and I’ve been kind of taken by the legacy of the company ever since. Recently, I stumbled upon an interview with the grandson of the founder of Gerstner. I thought you guys might enjoy it as well.
