Good looking pepsi dats bout 15 min from me thank god

 

haha otherwise its about a $ a pound on the internet. Ammo reloading sites.

 

You can go to a junkyard or tire place and get lead weights for free and melt them into a bar

 

this is the best that i have found so far

Ordering lead online seems pretty pricy.

I'm in the same boat, I need to add a few hundred lbs to the front end, but spending 300 plus to do it online sucks.

My plan is to build detachable tanks that I want to melt and fill the insides with lead.

 

Got some @ the shop. Let me know

 

Use wheel.weights........ a melted bar is considerably more weight that a shot bar

 

I've never melted lead in my life how much heat does it take? Can I do it w/ a blow torch from home depot?

 

Yes you can. And like I mentioned before, it's way cheaper

 

Search on speedway parts you can buy 25-50lbs bricks used for ballist in circle track racing

 

your saying it's cheaper to melt up wheel weights? anyone have any pictures of how they added weight up front? my car is a little underweight and want to add lead to the front to get it where it needs to be and help with traction.

 

Do a search for reclaimed shot. They usually sell used shot any where from $0.50 - $1.00 a pound depending on the quality. I am sure you can find a place close to you or that will ship it to you. The down side to shipping is usually they want you to freight ship a lot of it.

Here's a place as an example (middle of the page):

There's an industrial supply place local to me that sells bricks of it by the pound probably have a few hundred pounds of good quality lead for sale. Thats where i got mine from and melted it down into my weight bars. I could pick some up for you but i doubt shipping would be cheap.

 

beings most places will give you wheel weights for free (junkyards, tire shops, etc) just melt it into some round or square tubing, drill some holes through it, then bolt it up to the frame or traction bar

 

Do not use a blow touch.... get a large turkey fryer base with the big propane.tank attached.... buy a dutch over and pour the wheelweights or lead in in... crank up the heat when ot starts to melt scrape the steel that floats to the top off and pour the melted lead into the bar....

DO NOT PUT THE WEIGHTS IN THE BAR AND TRY TO MELT THEM... MELT THEM FIRST AND THEN POUR THEM IN

 

GOOGLE "melting lead for bullets " or something like that. Thell be lots of videos

 

Thanks guys for the good info
Pepsi I called dat spot in the Bronx but they didn't have any
