[Tigers] The real reasons I wanted to post

[Tom Parker]

Al,

I bead blasted mine. If I had it to do all over I think I'd have it dipped.
There were seams that weren't cleaned out enough. It may have been an
operator problem, but I suspect it's just the way bead blasting is.

I have an AutoTwirler rotisserie and I like it. We made custom Sunbeam
mounts that use the jack holes and bumper bolts. It worked really well
except when the body was finally straight they had to "adjust" the brackets.

Sadly the brackets are no more; they didn't make it back from the body shop.

Tom

Just for grins, where are you located? I'm in Georgia.
