Last year 118 at NED was $10+ I'm guessing it's going to be $13-14 this year.

I bought an extra 55 gal drum for the $620.00 because he told me it was going to $650.00 next time. If you want it I will sell it to you for $640.00 and just get another one when Guy places his next order. let me know.

He just received an order last week. He has some 118 pails. I think the pails are $65-$70 now. Let me know if you need them I could drop them off at the garage.

I'm gonna need some for when I finally get the junker back together. My headers should be showing up at the shop this week, if you wanna grab 2 and leave them @ the shop I can give Sean the $, or get it to you or just go to Guy's house either way.

Gimmie a ring (860) 770-0669

Does guy still take the old can's back? I still have about a gallon left in the can I got from him last fall, it's been sealed up in the garage since I went to atco in november, ya think that's still good?
