Halibrand Magnesium 427 Wheels

[rodneym]

I was reading in the Registry (pg 672) that the Halibrand Cobra II (427) wheels were all magnesium. For some reason I assumed that only mags were used on Full Comp 427's and maybe S/C's. No mention of aluminum except for the Kelsey-Hayes Sunbursts.

There you have it. Any self respecting CSX continuation owner (especially an aluminum car) MUST have magnesium wheels! There's no two ways about it.

Step right up! Please form a line. No pushing or shoving, please.

This is important me. Why are you first on the list? I've been waiting longer and I'm.......something better than you.

I'm #1, I'm #1, I'm #1. Woohoooo!

I think we're all lucky we're not Patrick, if that's his real name.

You know Rod, even you could clean your air bleeds.

I didn't forget.
I'm still waiting on Richard @ Halibrand.
I'll call him tomorrow if I don't hear from him today.

... hmmm, not to be the pessimist, but I detect the faint acrid smell of a deal going sour. But on the positive side, it hasn't actually curdled yet, so there still may be time.. but as RodKnock would say, "it's starting to look grim."

OK, I cleaned my air bleeds yesterday, as you suggested, but now my tires are flat.

I was lucky to get an email per year from Richard, so Rodney is batting 1.000 as far as I'm concerned.

Honestly, as soon as I hear special requests (e.g., turkey, no mustard and onions, but add jalopeno peppers and avocado, light mayo, and if you have dutch crunch bread that would be great), I get the feeling that Richard's eyes may glaze over and shelve the project for another year.
