Who was the guy who rebuilt heads?

Nah, it was UPS who zinged my kid for brokerage, we've decided to build an 
island for all the people we don't like, and the centre of it is designated 
for "brown". (though it would be cool to see what's in the trucks I 
guess...).
Sorry to hear about your car BTW, time to get the resto moving on the other 
one I guess...(it's likely that rebuild that did it in, too much power)
