Love it when a plan comes together...33 years as a diesel mechanic has a few perks.

Reddirt nice score, they look good,long and clean. I don’t even see any zinc in there. Good luck.
maybe I should give up the gasser's, and start doing smokers, I own my own shop and even I cant get a break on wheel weights like that.
Thanks....just found out today that a while back they quit using zink and went back to all lead!!

This is in jest. It took you 33 years to collect a buck of wheel weights
if you are ever being chased by a taxidermist, don't play dead
Working at a Nuke Plant near Rock Hill SC l got to be friends with the Garage Foreman there.. He put me in touch with a guy in Charlotte who they their truck tires from... l was able to get a few 3 gallon buckets of truck cows/sows.. Some of those jewels weigh a half pound. (8oz) ln fact , they are almost too pretty to melt.
0ne side note on the Nuke Plant Garage--lt was also the company home of a 1918 Detroit Electric automobile. Wooden wheels and ALL. Car was street legal too. lt had an antique car tag, and was limited to daylight use only. l was told the thing would 40-45 mph.. No transmission either.. The 10HP Detroit Electric motor mounted directly to the driveshaft. No steering wheel either.. lt was tether controlled.. Even more unique, the car had no typical FRONT or REAR. lt looked the same coming and going.. The passenger seats faced each other. When the driver wanted to change direction they simply moved from one seat to the other.. No backup cameras required.. No more U turns either.. l was told the range was app 30miles. Depending on the quality/type of the battery. When l saw it the setup was typical wet cell lead/acid batteries. l think the motor was 48 volts. A company engineer came by one day and said they were in the process of switching over to lithium /ion batteries, increasing the driving range to 120 miles from 40.. They had the original battery charger from 1918. lt was almost as big as the car!!
Neat Car. Almost as neat as those half pound wheel weights
Not a bad amount of trash for over 100# of rendered coww! 8)

You got a good yield from that score! You don't see it that good much anymore.
