Thursday evening, October 5, Pastor John stopped by Hershey Auto Machine to see the owner Kurt Hershey for some donated parts - a lot of donated parts.  Thank you Kurt.  Your donation is amazing.  Tyler (left) and Bradley (right) are excited.

Some of these parts will be used in our 2018 Trophies.  Many of them will have to wait until they go through a 500 degree baking process.  That is necessary to get the oil that has penetrated the metal pores.  This step is necessary to protect the powder coating process - no issues.

August 3, 2013 1st place winner in the motorcycle class was Rodney Weller of Greencastle (orange shirt). Jerry Funk was our trophy fabricator. His theme for these trophies came from his son, Tyler's excitement about the CARS animated movie. The trophies were nicknamed the Piston Cup trophies.
