Rick Not really a knack, just pass over every 10 normal lids, and put feelers out for something better Link to post Share on other sites
1canpara Posted August 10, 2013 Share #9 Posted August 10, 2013 Not really a knack, just pass over every 10 normal lids, and put feelers out for something better Great strategy! I wish I had the contacts and access to US vets and resources that some other forum members do. Geographically it's harder from Canada to utilize this methodology, but hey, I'm going to start thinking along those lines anyway! Still impressed with this one though! It's got a great look and patina to it! Link to post Share on other sites

Sabrejet Posted August 10, 2013 Share #13 Posted August 10, 2013 The airborne lid conveyor belt just keeps on a-rollin'. Nice one Jamie!! Link to post Share on other sites
jkash23686 Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share #14 Posted August 10, 2013 The airborne lid conveyor belt just keeps on a-rollin'. Nice one Jamie!! Naww, like i said previously I pass up 10 helmets to save up for one AB lid. It also helps that I've sort of become known as an airborne guy so people contact me sometimes.
