in the bad old days a Al Salerno and big block corvette driver had a bare 427 block stick welded to the passenger side floor. this is the same guy who's kill switch was a foot long "frankenstien style" blade switch on the roll cage.

When I used to race karts I sometimes needed to make some lead that was shaped funny.

I melted it in a pan on the BBQ grill, out side far away from my house (but near that Ahole neighbor with the dog that always barks). Then I pour the lead into my mold, add more unmelted lead to the mold, and then go melt and pour again.

No biggie, hold your breath!
