Well, I guess it would depend on who you ask, as far as the story on my 53 Merc. Long story short is that Kevin Dickerson @ Dicks Shop (Garland TX) and Skratch (Ft Worth / Los Angeles) did the body work and paint. Kevin did (or-redid) the suspension, steering, and a whole lot of mechanical work...

It is a 277 series friction slide. Thanks for my first 'you ****'!!

Can anyone tell me what this is:

I have done the standard google and eBay searches, but havent been able to find out much about this type of flashlight. Anyone here ever seen one?

I cant figure out how to make the pic appear as a thumbnail in the post, but here it is..

Does anyone know where I would be able to obtain a few feet of 1/16" wire rope, and a ball end fitting? In fact, The other end of the wire rope takes a different style fitting (not pictured), so a source for other style fittings would be a big help...

Thanks for all the replies. SO corporate took care of the screwdrivers under warranty, it was much easier than I expected.
