    I have decided to give up and close Dick's Hot Rod Carbs, as of December 31. I have a shit load of cores and rebuild parts and other things for Holley 94, 2100, 2110, Stromberg 48, 97, and Rochester 2G, big 2G. I don't want to piece meal it out so if you have interest or know someone who may, please send them my way and I will give an interested party an incredible deal.

    All the best with the future, always marvelled over how good you setups looked! I have messaged a friend Matt who may reach out about your inventory. Good luck with it all.

    Thanks for the good advice a while back. I'm going to regret not having you there when I rebuild and install my 6x2 setup.
    Good luck with everything.

    All good things must come to an end. The hot rod scene will lose a valued provider when you close up shop Dick. Thanks for the setup you did for me, and the help when I've reached out to you for advice. I hope somebody takes you up on your offer and continues providing a needed service. Best wishes.

    Greetings Rick, We may do some traveling or at this stage in life just take it easy and follow the grandkids.

    So does that mean you're still rebuilding carbs until the end of the year?

  16. Dick, I had a feeling when I visited with you this decision was coming down the line. I'm glad I was able to get this from you before you shut down. Enjoy your future friend. original_86abfedc-3732-4c71-99b1-d6a632774691_IMG_20210201_162256104.jpg

    Can't imagine how many carbs you've had your hands on. All of us Johnson County folks wish you well.

    Still wanting to get rid of all my carb cores, parts pieces, supplies, equipment, and hardware. I figure I have a minimum of $15-$20 K worth and will let it all go for $5K. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

    Tell Matt if he is still interested, I'll drop the load for $3,000.
