I just got back from shopping, and I stopped by the Eastwood Co. store in
Malverne, PA (just west of Phila.) to pick up some paint for my Rostyles.
What a place! Not a very big store, but a lot of closeouts. We all know they
have a great line of stuff, but it was nice to get some stuff at a bargain.
They have small caps for covering openings in parts like brake calipers during
painting. The package in the catalog is about $13 for 69 caps (I think). I
bought a bag of the caps for $2.00!
I also bought a tubing bender for brake pipes, which I didn't see in the
latest catalog. It is like a large pair of pliers, and it guides the pipe as
you press it around a small diameter bend. Only $5. I have a larger diameter
bender so this will help with any tighter turns.
I also saw some small arc welders (not MIG) for $60 and $70. I am not in the
market for a welder, but I thought that was cheap.
If you are in the area and haven't been there, do it. Route 30 (Lancaster
Pike) in Malverne, PA, just east of route 202.
