It seems that when I have something, I end up giving it away just to get rid of it. When I need something I can only find it at a price. Murphy's law, I guess.

I figure that if it's a fellow Stovebolter, I don't mind paying for his spare and helping fund his project. The ones I don't like giving money to are the guy parting out a restorable truck because he figures there's more money in the parts than in peddling the whole truck, or the guy that I have read about in these forums cheating other Stovebolters.

I find that the best deals are to be found right here at the Stovebolt because quite often I'm dealing with someone who has been through what I am going through.

You need your head, your brains are in it.
