He had just finished the last one he ever made. He said each unit took a ton of work and was expensive to make. I tried to ‘bribe’ him to do one more…. No dice !
Some guys, maybe dead by that time, had the ultimate durable non slip hot rod rear ends. He said… never made many such rear ends. Mainly for racers.
