I got your message, still hurts to hear the phone ring or peoples voices, so I havent been answering/returning calls today.
PM me your address and I will get them on the way so you have them for the weekend.
Best bet on shipping is a medium flat rate box, $12 or so, can ship up to 70 lbs in them for just the 1 price.
I'll send you an invoice along with the lead.

Thanks,
Jim

I guess I should have specified more. lol we don't actually weld them to the chassis on any of our cars but on our dirt stock cars we weld brackets to the square tubing the leads in to ease in mounting in certain locations. The only advantage I could see on a l-car doing it my way is the metal tubbing will prevent the lead from get loose or trying to pull thru the washers plus it makes a very nice looking piece of lead!

Jim,
  Gave you a call this afternoon, wanna order a couple of those blocks of lead from you, but was hoping to be able to get them by this weekend.  I left my number on your voicemail, just give me a call and we can set it up.
 

Thanks!!!

My mistake. Was still going off of lead prices from 2010.
I can't buy it for less than $1.50/lb here.
Price of the bars would be $40.00 each

To dangerous IMHO. Just buy some ballast blocks from your dealer, mine always has some around the shop for when the car gets scaled.
