Auction of Gene Hetland's mostly '32 parts

TJ, yes I have tried to help out younger people by selling intake manifolds to them for a very reasonable price, just to help them out with their project and get them along in the hobby. I remember selling two very hard to find intakes to two different young people. Just take a guess what happened. Within two weeks after each sale each intake ended up on ebay after these two persons faithfully told me they were going to use these intakes on their cars. I really didn't like the end result of me trying to help someone out.

Sorry you had a couple of bad experiences. I've been lucky so far that the parts I gave to people or sold cheaply were used on their cars and they were young guys. i can understand why you are now hesitant to help out.

I agree 100% that's not cool at all. Not in the least.
