"Dearly Gearheaded.....we are gathered here today, to pay our respects to a fallen hero. Responsible for bringing many lives back from the certain fate of becoming license plates and furniture frames that are held together bya varied assortment allen headed screws that all take the same wrench, our hero has brought back an estimated 2800 horsepower to America's roads. Yes, I'm referring to our old friend, the Lincoln Mig 140 Easy-Welder Part #IM890B serial 11254....or commonly called, Big Red. Ole' Red...or, Ginger as he's affectionately known around the shop, started out in 2007 welding up a..sniff...sniff....sorry, I'm tearing up as I write this....a 1968 LL1 Surf Turquoise Roadrunner that should have remained at the bottom of Lake Erie where it look like it had been stored for 29yrs. So we find it a comfort, knowing he went quietly (until I took a sledge hammer to him and screamed multiple profanities at 120 decibels rendering my lungs inoperative for a period of hours...) welding up yet another 1968 car, but this one, a Mustang. Allow me to read from the 1968 Service Manual book of J0BE (J = Hemi, 0 = 1970, B = St. Louis Plant, E = Ebody Series) for a few final words.....(sniff.....sniff.....):fro wn:
