    Also near the Bunker Hill Dragstrip, Indiana's first and oldest dragstrip, established in 1956! :cool:

    The misspelling makes it deflective . I’ll take it off Your hands for s**** price and hang it on the wall .

    Bellhousing you say? Peru Indiana? Machime shop? 1959 was 10 years before I was born, but I believe my mom worked at Letha's drive in that year. Those were nice bellhousings though, we always cried when mom bought us those to wear, couldn't see our shoes. I really should go to sleep now.

    I'd say the guys cursive was pretty good considering he was using a die grinder to write with. If it was me doing it there would be pecker tracks all over

    THe People from Peru,Indiana think they are the Circus Capital of the world? Peru, Indiana, is the “Circus Capital of the World.” For that, this town of 11,000 can thank Benjamin Wallace, a native son whose Great World Menageries and International Circus opened to a sell-out Peru crowd in early 1884. It became one of the country’s most successful shows, returning to Wallace’s winter quarters in Peru each year. That property eventually landed in the possession of John Ringling of the Ringling Brothers. Retired circus pros started the Circus City Festival there in 1959, giving young people a chance to perform summer shows under the big top.

    Pretty sure you didn't mean "deflective" but if you get it for s**** price, I'll save you the trouble of finding a hammer and a nail and give you $5 more than you paid for it. Shipping shouldn't cost much more than that;).

    Peru, Indiana or Sarasota, Florida may be the circus capitals of the world, but there are days when I feel my shop is the only three-ring circus in the world with a concrete floor. :oops:

    Cheers,
