SS is soft so it may be hard to find a better quality set like those.  I've bought some dental picks for fine work. They are some sort of alloy (magnetic) but they haven't rusted in the years that I've had them.

 I am looking for a small set of Stainless steel hook picks.
 Sofar all i can find are these cheap things in ebay.

 Someone has to make a decent set of Stainless Steel picks but i can't find any.

My what a stunning car! Really, just sets a very high watermark for anything else on wheels.

My deceased dad told me innumerable things about countless brands of cars pre 1960's vintage, with the lions share being 1920's 1940's era. Some of the things he shared I remember, much of it, long forgotten. One of the bits he shared was about some vintage car with a V-12, V-16 perhaps, don't recall it as being an inline engine that had very small diameter pistons, but had a bunch of them. LOL  In a sense, my dad left my mind a graveyard for bits and pieces of trivia info on cars, trucks, and even a few on tractors! For example. If you were standing next the road on a dark night you would know a Chrysler Airflow was approaching because of the whistling sound the design of the grill gave off when the car was at highway speed.

Sorry for straying off topic. This car is absolutely a work of art.

Much like a boat, but on wheels, requiring constant repairs, & using overpriced parts.

Never own an airplane is all I can say

I hear you! And I have never owned an airplane, outright. I'm sure you're right on about airplanes.. Being a boater most of my life. I know first hand the expenses of boating. I sold my last boat a decade ago,, not soon enough. Besides having two Chevy 454 blocks that I had to rebuilt and two Borg Warner transmission overhauls. Between dock fees, winter storage, and fuel will pit a dent into any budget. It can easily burn $150.00 per hour's use in fuel alone...

Here's my last boat..


Picture wake on Sandusky Bay off Cedar Point...


I was standing on the stern of my docked boat, with a single boas between my craft and the boat that exploded on Mother's Day May 9, 1993. Three people were killed at Shooter's restaurant in Cleveland Ohio around noon. The boat's owner was new to boating and made a major mistake trying to start the generator. My passengers and I were not seriously hurt.


The best two day's in any boater's life is the day he purchases one, and the day he sells it..

...Thanks for the compliment.. I'd say "Ask a man that Owns one." But that's a Packard slogan. Might there be other Buick fans here?

Yes, my wife has gotten me sold on Buicks. Her parents were long time Buick owners - she picked up that bug from them. She was driving a 1980's Skyhawk when we got married. We inherited both a 1988 Century then a 2002 Century from two family members when they passed on. (Her sister and BIL like Fords).
I loved the '88 - the '02 we're getting ready to sell.
Having owned the '02 for over 20 years now we notice other Buicks while driving. We see alot of Century's, Regal's, and Park Avenue's on the roads.
