I'm eBaying a couple things. Valve covers and luggage rack ... :

FM Former Member
I'm pretty sure y'all had first crack at these a while ago.

The valve covers are the ones from my experiment last year, which are intended for 2L T-IV heads. I'm fairly certain I was doing something wrong, but we also had a bit of a go 'round with whether or not they were going to be as functional as they are cool.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/PORSCHE-VALVE-COVERS-2-0-LITER-914-ENGINE-UNUSED-NR-/380436816631?hash=item5893cd22f7&item=380436816631&pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr

The luggage rack just didn't do it for my car. I don't have the chrome bits and bumpers that seem to make it acceptable for a big ole' rack on the back, and no matter how many times I told the guys at the firehouse it was for hauling deer out of the woods ... well, it just had to go.

I got the rack in a trade with Carey, since one leg was damaged and needed to be re-welded at the joint where the leg meets the frame of the rack. It'll fit the CMC/FiberFab/StreetBeasts hibachi grille, because I took the time to form the angles on the legs one at a time until they aimed correctly. The weld still needs to be fixed.

I'm posting here about these two things so you'll know whose they are on eBay. I'm selling them through a third party because their fee was fair enough -- and I didn't have to really DO a whole lot to get this stuff moving down the road.

I also still have Rocky Cimbrec's old roll bar and its mounting equipment (CMC/FiberFab/StreetBeasts) which needs a new home. It may go the same direction as these things here if I don't get some interest. I'd like to get Fred a couple bucks to put back into his IM, since the roll bar won't fit his ride (third picture).

And then there's this guy. It's a movie-film viewer, apparently used back "in the day" to examine splices in film as a quality-control measure. It came from a theater in Washington that was being torn down in an effort to gentrify a neighborhood, and one of my friends grabbed it thinking I was into that kind of eccentric stuff.

Truth is, I'm tried to find a reason why I should hang onto it, but I would rather lighten my load than add to the contents of the house. I'm pretty sure this gadget is the kind of thing where somebody would have to have a specific interest -- or it'll go to someone who wants off-the-wall doodads as conversation pieces for the shelves of their study.

It'll clean up pretty nicely, but I wasn't inclined to do it.

That is armor. It's a viking helmet, most of which is an artifact dug up near Wolin at the mouth of the Oder (Odra) River by a guy I know, and restored by his viking society. He added to the helmet to his specifications.

That's a chain-mail shirt made by a chap named Geoff Carter (Vikings of Middle England) while he was an SAS para stationed in Belfast 20 years ago. Geoff is a good friend also. It's 55,000, machine-edged, 8mm lock-washers -- all linked together four-into-one -- and it stops everything but bodkin arrows.

The sword is an I-type Norweigian langa seaxe named "Mad Cow," (made to measure for little old me) by the legendary Paul Binns: http://www.paul-binns-swords.co.uk/

That's the general idea, Steve. I took the 'Lord free us from the tyranny of the Norsemen' and upped the ante to an old viking chant:

'We walk across this land
With the ugly Hand.
Killing every thing in sight
Just for the pleasure of fight.'

Too bad Latin doesn't rhyme, and Icelandic could break the ears off a stone statue:
