Yes, I am paranoid.  Living around Boston for years will do that to you.....  :sly:

ROFL.....where around Boston?  I grew up in Billerica and lived there for 26 years.....LOVED the place.  I'll be up there for Father's Day this year.

If we never drown we'll never know how well it tastes....So tell me how it tastes and I'll know just how well you drowned.

I'm in Belmont but worked a lot in Chinatown, "Medfud", Brighton.  Went to automechanic school in Chelsea at ITT Tech.  We were lucky that year.  Only 1 of my classmates were murdered.  Seriously.  :grinyes:

 :smilielol:  Chelsea huh?  My parents grew up there....everytime we fly home my dad cuts through there and shows me his old stompin' grounds;  Places he used to steal cars from, etc.  I used to play billiards at Good Time Billiards in Medford/Summerville....great place before it got REALLY big.

That means your parents must've hit Kelly's at least once in thier lifetime.

They must also know Building 19 (Good Stuff Cheap!) on the Lynnway.  A looooong time ago (20+) they used to have weird stuff there.  I've seen Cragar S/S mags and  headers there.  We even made a set of rear window louvers for our old Trans Am from stuff we found there.

I heard from a friend that a couple lots over from Building 19, to the left of the Walmart there they are supposed to have a classic car and exotic car auction there beginning of May.  If you want more info I can ask my friend where and when.  Maybe your parents can get you a surprise present.  :biggrin:

Kelly's.....ah yes....we stop there every time we go up....usually around the 11pm hour.....they make AWESOME subs.  I've been to Building 19 as well....they had one in Burlington for the longest time, then it closed down.  I could remember going in there and thinking "what a pit!" but as you said, they had all sorts of odds and ends, ya never knew what you were going to get there from one week to the next.

If you could dig up any info on the car show, that would be great.....my dad would probably like to go and maybe get me some stuff while he is there.  :2thumbs:

Here's the linky: http://www.neccaa.com/  May 5+6.

They are auctioning 350 oe so classic and exotic cars and have an automotive flea market.  Looks interesting as most of the automotive flea market type stuff is in the western part of the state.

BTW, tell your Dad to stay away from the Chinese tools!!!!  ;)  :lol:
