Here here, Sir Bill, Every part on your car is a used one the day it
rolls it's first mile. Caveat Emptor definately applies though. I just
recently bought two 16 Gal fuel cells from a Busch Grand National team
for use in my Late Model race car. The reason they sold it was that the
numbers on the cells did not match up with the Nascar spec required. The
cells each only had one race on them, and neither one of the cars they
were in were wrecked. I saved $200 on the pair. Who is the fool now?
