...... what you may find. So I get a call from one of my buddies from Milan Dragway, and he has a friend, that has a friend .... blah blah. I call this guy up and end up with this. An original set of MOPAR tools - circa 1968. :beer Such a cool set of stuff. Never seen anything like these before. Every single tool is stamped "MOPAR" "Made in the USA"
Very cool find there Casey! I too got lucky like that once, in that I ran into a 1968 American Motors tool kit. Just like yours,it said American Motors Corp. (Made in Kenosha Wi. ,U.S.A. ) right on the wooden handle. The set was a little less elaborate though in that it only contained one tool. Looked just like the one in your picture,in the upper left hand corner.:laugh: I've had to use it many times,and oddly enough,it seems to fix just about anything.:spank: Rich C.
Casey Nice find!I'll bet those tools were made by SK-wayne,My older brother was a wrenchhead when I was a kid,and I remember his stuff looking very close to what you just found.
Rumor has it that Bob and Dan are starting a "Certified Stock" program for toolboxes this year. Box-end wrenches will be tested for the presence of exotic metals not available in the '60s. Volt/dwell meters must have an analog needle not digital read-out. Racers in posession of metric sockets will be banned for life. p
Damn, I might as well fold up shop now!!! I have some metric tools in my tool box, but those are for working on my cars at home and the tow vehicle, (yes an '84 Ford does have metric on it). ou: Oh yeah, thats right.... pay no attention to the man standing in the corner... with HEADERS on his car!!!:bla:
I should be pretty safe. Unlike the roller chest and four subsidiary tool boxes at home, I keep my track side tool box pretty simple:
Donny, how could possibly get by without 'ol reliable..... Good for speeds up to 200+mph. Don't leave home without it.............. Thomas
