Back in 65 these were the bumpers on the Shelby Cobra,called "quick jack bumpers" Two front & two rear.At pit stop a pit crew would jack the car up (manually) for tire changes View attachment 1682610

AARC,

Yeah that idea kind of gives me flashbacks to a certain doctor's visit I vividly recall....

I always wanted to take a ride in a real UFO.

But its that "probing" part of the ride that keeps me from pursuing / trying.

:P

one of my favorite things to do.......free diving for collector grade shells. 20 -25 foot. We all got a few. Heres my catch. 3 queen conchs, and one king helmet. 25$ a shell for the queens, and we will bargain on the king helmet. Could get 40 for this small one, but would be more like 60-80 for bigger ones. My side money when I get home.

whole lotta fun getting these guys.

Bart,

I ate conch salad on the wharf in Freeport when I was there for my honeymoon in 1984.

Would imagine now conch is probably very restricted due to overfishing. I also have Queen Conch shell we bought one live in Montreal at a fish market and what a job getting it out of the shell when you don't have a clue what you're doing....

Bart, some really beautiful shells!!

When you find them, are they vacant? Or are the previous occupants ever still there??

Yes......we love conch salad and have eaten a bunch of it this week. Mmmmmm mmmmm good. I've been free diving these things most my life. It's so much fun, and I have a good healthy market for the shells, so it's a win win for me. I get paid to guide my boss to them and then get to sell the shells.

Folks,

Paul McCartney and friends live from the Cavern Club where it all started.

The animals are a delicacy, and the collectors want them caught while the animal is live so the shells are in there best condition. The meat is in high demand and we could sell it but we always keep it for ourselves. I rarely sell the meat because we love to eat it so much. Conch fritters, conch salad, cracked conch, conch chowder etc...etc. I eat the meat and sell the shell. The shell collectors are very picky and can even tell if we have rinsed them In fresh water. They will drop the price on you if you have cleaned them in chlorinated fresh water. Can only clean them in salt water or distilled water for maximum profit.
