Ok you can officially call me a gear head now. I got a call telling me there are more gears to be had that were forgot about...I got 20 more and they were in an old broken down school bus out in the woods.. quite a job to remove them but well worth it. There are some big ones in the bunch. So that makes it a total of 52 gear molds i have now plus the really big 7 foot one. And to think i got excited about one when i first saw the one mold. Running out of room but who could pass them up? Not me!

ultrajunk writes: Dang.. 50 new best friends a;ready..i thought we had our own small click going on here.. lol.... this is the first of this kind of thing for me. Never know what you might run into. Not sure what they will bring in price yet...at least $20,000 for a 4 footer..special discounts apply to my new best friends of course..lol. I might have a antique dealer that might buy the whole lot.. i have to keep some of course, way to cool to off them all.

georgiamoon writes: Gosh I think you could just send one out to each of your 50 new best friends!!! Sound like a plan? And also I love that you put your picture up. You're cute... wish everyone would do it, but I understand that some people are more shy than others, and almost everyone is more shy than me! Ha Ha, Geo Posted: 2:22 pm on November 20th

Sheesh. You really know how to get the goods, don't you? We applaud your connections and love to see your work!

I am still interested in a gear or two. I responded to your email asking for your phone number but it looks like you may not have gotten it. I'll try again.

By the way, how often do you have to replace the shocks on your truck with all the fantastic hauls you get? Just askin'. ;)

Take care
Damon
