Car and turned the key............... NADA!!! No fire.

Tried a second crank- "Huston-we have ignition!"

No trial run, left the hood straight off and headed for

our locals and a coupla tall cold ones for me and the Mrs.
I admit, to 75+ mph tops on the ride home. (bad boy Dale,
bad!!)


This brings the Crypt Car to 100+ miles driven without a

I sell a lot of it, either stamped or machined for my customers. We do a lot of aerospace and specialized medical applications with I625 and I718. We mainly use the Hastelloy's for real high end aero applications.
