I wish I had a real Cobra 427. I'd drive it even if it is freezing cold outside. 1/4 mile in 12.3 anyone?

The Cobra is one of my All Time Favorites

Someone ditched a pile of those boxes on front of my Walmart. So I shoved them under bush and grabbed them on the way out. They make great display cases for my bits.

You're shittin me! They are real nice cases! Your bits fit them? They are
tiny but real nice!!!

I just checked, I hate to say it but he's right. Bits fit in the cases. So I decided to push the extreme: Zips fit in them, but just barely!

You doubted me?

Why would I lie about plastic cases.

Oh No! I never doubted you Brutha! Damn nice "right place, right time" collection

I bought a bunch of cases like those at biglots some time ago.

crazydave · Post by **crazydave** » Mon Dec 12, 2005 8:27 am

Yeah, those BigLots ones are better. Slightly larger and stackable. I had a few from TRU that had hinged fronts so you could get at the car easier.

Whatever direction you go with cases it always rounds out to about a buck a car, and that would be too expensive for my whole collection. One day (hopefully sooner than later) I'm gonna go to Home Depot and get me some sheets of poly-carbonate, and make me a clear display case. I think it'll be much cheaper in the long run.

I have seen where some of these stores go out of biz and they sell off display cases for real cheap that might be a better outlet for a display case.

Even one of the clear round ones that turn in the middle!
